Wonton is a sort of dumpling from China. They come in little packets and can be steamed, deep-fried, or served in wonton soup. The inside of the wonton has a tasty pork or seafood filling, which is wrapped in a distinctive yellow color and rectangle wrapper. Because wonton wrappers include eggs, the yellow color comes from the yolk.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 lb. (0.2 kg) ground pork, chicken or turkey
- 1/4 lb. (0.1 kg) shrimp, chopped into small pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce or fish sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3 dashes ground white pepper
- 1 pack store-bought wonton wrappers
- water, for sealing
- vegetable oil, for deep frying
Instructions
- Combine the ground pork, shrimp, soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper in a mixing bowl. To make a sticky filling, stir everything together thoroughly.
- To wrap the wontons, place a piece of wonton wrapper in the palm of your hand and fill it halfway with the filling. Dip your index finger into the sealing water and trace it on the outer corners of the wonton wrapper. (If you’re a newbie, use 1 teaspoon filling.)
- There are three different ways to wrap the wontons. To make a triangle, simply fold the paper in half. Pinch the edges together to make a tight closure. Simply pull the two corners of the triangle down so one covers the other, pinch, and seal with water to create the lovely form (far left in the above picture). Please see my video at the top of this post for instructions on how to convert them into Hong Kong style wontons (far right in the above picture).
- Prepare some deep-frying oil. Deep fried the wontons till golden brown once the oil is thoroughly hot. Using paper towels, absorb any excess oil. Serve with a sweet and sour sauce from China or a sweet chili sauce from Thailand.
