Redneck Won Tons Recipes

WON TONS

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, combine mustard, soy sauce and wasabi until the wasabi has dissolved. Cover and refrigerate.
• Place cream cheese in a large bowl (preferably chilled metal). Mix in crab meat, onion, water chestnuts and parsley. Place one spoonful of the mixture in the center of each won ton wrapper. Bring points of the wrapper together (in a triangular shape) and pinch the edges closed. If the edges do not stick together, wet your fingertips lightly with water and pinch the ends together again (this will help to hold the won ton together).
• Heat oil in a large skillet. When oil is hot, place won tons (approximately 6 at a time) into hot oil. Remove the won tons when they are golden brown. Drain them on a paper towel lined tray. Repeat this process until all won tons are fried. Serve with dipping sauce.

GRANDMA'S CRISPY PORK WONTONS

Steps:

• Mix together the ground pork, celery, carrot, onion, and garlic in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and soy sauce; mix with your hands until well blended.
• Separate the wonton wrappers and lay them out on a clean surface. Spoon 1 teaspoon of the pork mixture into the center of each wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wonton wrappers with beaten egg, fold over the filling to form a triangle, and press together to seal. Place the finished wontons on a baking sheet.
• Heat the canola oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C).
• Fry the wontons, about 6 at a time, until they turn golden brown and float to the top, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove, and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

CRISPY WONTONS

Steps:

• Combine pork, water chestnuts, green onions, soy sauce, cornstarch, salt and ginger in medium bowl; mix well. Place 1/2 teaspoonful pork mixture in center of each wonton skin. Fold wonton skin over filling to form a triangle. Turn top of triangle down to meet fold. Turn over; moisten 1 corner with water. Overlap opposite corner over moistened corner; press together firmly.
• Heat oil in wok or large saucepan over medium-high heat to 375 degrees F. Deep-fry wontons, a few at a time, 2 to 3 minutes, or until brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm with ketchup and mustard or sweet & sour sauce, as desired.

WON TON

Steps:

• Place pork in mixing bowl.
• Pick over watercress to remove tough stems. Drop watercress into boiling water and let stand about 30 seconds. Drain immediately and run under cold water. Press to extract excess water. Chop until fine, then add to pork.
• Add all remaining ingredients except pepper, won ton skins and chicken broth and stir.
• If thin won tons are desired, roll each skin with rolling pin or put through noodle machine, or they may be stuffed just as they are. Fill each skin with teaspoon of filling. Keep stack of won ton skins covered with damp cloth so they do not dry out.
• To fold, bring up two sides of won ton skin and pinch all around to seal in filling. Dampen edges with a little water if necessary to make them stick. Pull two bottom edges together and pinch firmly to seal.
• Continue until all filling is used. As you work, cover finished won tons with damp cloth to prevent drying out.
• Bring several quarts of water to boil in large kettle and add won tons. When water returns to boil, add half cup of cold water and let water come to boil again. Won tons are done when they float to top.
• Heat chicken broth. Put a little salt and pepper into bottom of individual serving bowls and pour in hot broth. Ladle few cooked won tons into each bowl and serve immediately.

GIANT WON TONS

Steps:

• In a large frying pan, brown the beef in 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over medium heat. Mix in water chestnuts, onion, celery, and Worcestershire sauce until combined; there is no need to cook the vegetables. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Place one tablespoon of the beef mixture into the center of each wonton wrapper. Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, and then roll the wrapper up around the filling egg roll style.
• In an electric deep fryer or a heavy saucepan, heat oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Deep fry rolls until their wrappers are golden brown; fry in batches to maintain an even temperature. Once cooked, place the rolls on paper towels to drain. Serve warm.
