Veggie pork minced fried wonton

By: Ruth

1. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the minced pork, scallions, garlic, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, cornflour, carrots and chopped water chestnuts. Add salt, pepper and sugar to your liking then, mix well until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Assemble the wontons: Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Add about 1 teaspoon of the filling to the center of the wrapper.Dip your finger into the bowl of water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal tightly.Optionally, bring the two bottom corners together and seal with a little water to create a classic wonton shape.
3. Heat the oil:Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or wok over medium heat until it reaches 170-180°C (340-360°F). You can test by dropping a small piece of wrapper into the oil; it should sizzle and float.
4. Fry the wontons:Carefully add the wontons to the hot oil in small batches. Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.Remove the fried wontons with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
5. Serve:Serve hot with your favourite dipping sauce, such as sweet chilli or soy-vinegar sauce.Enjoy your crispy and flavourful fried wontons!
