Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 pound Ground pork
- 0.25 pound Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 30 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 4 cups Vegetable oil, for frying
- as needed Water
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, finely chopped shrimp, green onions, minced garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
To assemble the wontons, place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the filling mixture into the center of the wrapper.
Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper around the filling.
Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle and press the edges firmly to seal. Ensure there are no air bubbles around the filling.
Bring the two opposite corners of the triangle together, overlap slightly, and press to seal using a little water to help adhere. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
In a large deep frying pan or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add wontons in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
Remove the wontons with a slotted spoon and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels.
Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or soy sauce.
