Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package Gluten-free wonton wrappers
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 4 pieces Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, green onions, garlic, ginger, tamari, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Prepare your workspace with a small bowl of water to help seal the edges of the wontons.
Lay out a gluten-free wonton wrapper. Place about 1 teaspoon of the pork filling in the center of the wrapper.
Dip your finger in the water and moisten the edges of the wrapper.
Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle, then press the edges together to seal, ensuring no air is trapped with the filling.
Bring the two outer corners of the triangle together over the filling and seal with a bit of water. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the wontons in a single layer.
Cook the wontons for about 2 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.
Carefully pour in the water and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the wontons to steam for an additional 5-6 minutes to ensure the pork is fully cooked.
Remove the lid and let the remaining water evaporate. Allow the wontons to crisp up for an additional minute if desired.
Remove the wontons from the skillet and repeat the process with any remaining wontons.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
