Description

Indulge in the heavenly goodness of these ground pork wontons. Succulent ground pork nestled in delicate and crispy golden-brown wonton wrappers makes for a perfectly delectable appetizer that is sure to impress your guests!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 [12 oz package] wonton wrappers
  • 1/2 bunch green onions (bottoms ONLY chopped)
  • 1 garlic clove (chopped and smashed)
  • 1 lb ground sausage
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • salt
  • pepper
  • Oil for frying


Instructions

  1. Cook the pork in a pan on medium heat. Salt and pepper.
  2. Once fully cooked, strain the meat in a bowl to get rid of the excess grease.
  3. As the meat is draining, place the pan back on the burner (set to medium-low this time), add the green onion bottoms, and the garlic. Cook until fragrant.
  4. Turn off the heat and re-add the cooked meat, soy, and Worcestershire Sauce.
  5. Pour into a bowl and let cool to room temp.
  6. Using a teaspoon, place a small amount of filling onto the center of a wonton wrapper.
  7. Take your finger and gently tap it into the water and wipe a small amount of the water onto each side of the wonton wrapper (dip your finger as many times as needed to get all sides damp).
  8. Fold the sides together in your choice of shape folding (see images on Blog Post). Make in batches that will fit in a single layer in your fryer (approximately 6-8 of them). If you make them too far ahead of time, the filling may leak through the bottom.
  9. Watching closely, fry in single layers, flip them so they are golden and crunchy on all sides. Even the square ones need to be flipped or held down for a few seconds to get golden brown.
  10. Once golden brown, remove and lay on a rack to “dry”.
  11. For best results, serve immediately with soy sauce or your fav sauce.
