About

Wontons is listed as pork from China. The steps below are the imported TheMealDB method, not an editorial rewrite. Times shown are typical kitchen times, because the source method did not list minutes.

Ingredients

Scaling multiplies the written quantities. Baking still prefers a scale.

Steps

  1. Step 1

    Combine pork, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and vegetables in a bowl. Separate wonton skins.

  2. Step 2

    Place a heaping teaspoon of filling in the center of the wonton. Brush water on 2 borders of the skin, covering 1/4 inch from the edge.

  3. Step 3

    Fold skin over to form a triangle, sealing edges. Pinch the two long outside points together.

  4. Step 4

    Heat oil to 450 degrees and fry 4 to 5 at a time until golden. Drain and serve with sauce.
