Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams ground pork
- 1 small, grated carrot
- 2 stalks, finely chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 clove, minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon, grated ginger
- 30 pieces wonton wrappers
- 1 large, beaten (for sealing) egg
- 500 ml (for frying) vegetable oil
- 1 optional, for serving dipping sauce (soy sauce or sweet chili sauce)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, grated carrot, chopped green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Set up your workstation with a small bowl of water, the beaten egg, and the wonton wrappers.
Take one wonton wrapper and place it flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the pork filling into the center of the wrapper.
Dip your finger in the beaten egg and run it along the edges of the wrapper to moisten.
Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal. For an extra secure seal, press down with a fork or pleat the edges decoratively.
Optional: For a more classic wonton shape, bring the two bottom corners of the triangle together and overlap them slightly, sealing with a dab of egg wash.
Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling, placing the finished wontons on a tray lined with parchment paper.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or wok over medium-high heat until it reaches 175°C (350°F). If you don't have a thermometer, test by dropping a small piece of wonton wrapper into the oil—it should sizzle and turn golden in about 10 seconds.
Carefully fry the wontons in batches, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the wontons with a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Serve the wontons hot with your choice of dipping sauce on the side.
