Ingredients

Units Scale

Filling:

  • 1/2 pound ground pork
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped shrimp (optional)
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper

Additional:

  • 1 egg, lightly beaten (for sealing)
  • 30 square wonton wrappers
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, chopped shrimp (if using), green onions, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and white pepper. Mix well.
  2. Fill Wonton Wrappers: Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Brush edges with beaten egg, then fold into a triangle, pressing to seal. For traditional shape, bring opposite corners together and seal with more egg.
  3. Fry Wontons: Heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep skillet. Fry wontons in batches for 3–4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  4. Serve: Hot with sweet chili sauce or soy dipping sauce.

Notes

  • You can freeze uncooked wontons in a single layer and fry straight from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to cooking time.
  • Feel free to substitute pork with ground chicken or turkey.
