Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground pork
- 3 stalks green onions (finely chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (minced)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 30 sheets wonton wrappers
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
- as needed water (for sealing wrappers)
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (for dipping)
- 1 teaspoon chili oil (optional, for dipping)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, hoisin sauce, and cornstarch. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean flat surface. Spoon 1 teaspoon of the pork mixture into the center of the wrapper.
Dip your finger in water and run it along the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half diagonally over the filling to form a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Ensure there are no air pockets inside. If desired, pinch the edges into pleats for a decorative touch.
Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers and pork mixture until all the filling is used.
Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the wrappers in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown.
Carefully add 3-4 tablespoons of water to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Allow the wrappers to steam for 5 minutes until the pork filling is fully cooked and the wrappers are tender.
Remove the lid and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to crisp up the bottoms once again. Repeat with remaining wrappers in batches if necessary.
In a small bowl, combine rice vinegar, soy sauce, and chili oil (optional) to create the dipping sauce.
Serve the Oriental Pork Wrappers hot with the dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!
