Fried Wonton

Method

Combine the minced pork, prawns, water chestnuts, spring onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornflour, salt and white pepper in a bowl, mixing thoroughly to create the filling. Place approximately one teaspoon of filling in the centre of each wonton wrapper, then fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal. Bring the two pointed corners together and press firmly to form the characteristic wonton shape. Heat the vegetable oil to 180°C in a deep pan or wok. Carefully place the wontons into the hot oil in small batches, frying for 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Serve hot with sweet and sour sauce or chilli dipping sauce on the side.
