This fried wonton recipe is tender wrappers stuffed with ground pork, mushrooms and seasonings, then deep fried to crispy golden brown perfection.
Place the pork, mushrooms, green onions, soy sauce, cornstarch, salt, pepper, ginger and garlic in a large bowl. Stir until thoroughly combined.
Place one wonton wrapper on a flat surface. add a small spoonful of filling to the center of the wrapper. Fold the wonton wrapper in half diagonally so that it forms a triangle.
Put your index finger below the bulge where the filling is and press down from the top of the wrapper with your thumb and middle finger.
This should form an indentation in the middle of the wonton that makes two of the corners curve in toward each other.
Bring those two corners together and use a little water to seal them together. Repeat until you run out of wrappers or filling.
Heat 3 inches of oil in a large deep pot to 375 degrees F.Add a few wontons to the oil to fry, turning occasionally until they are golden brown. Remove them to a draining rack placed over a baking sheet so they can drain excess oil.
A few simple tricks for getting ultra crispy fried wontons that stay crisp long after you’ve fried them.
