INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1 cup shredded carrot
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 (14 ounce) package wonton wrappers
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 quart canola oil for frying

What to Drink?
Wine Sauvignon Blanc

DIRECTIONS

  1. Mix together the ground pork, celery, carrot, onion, and garlic in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and soy sauce; mix with your hands until well blended.
  2. Separate the wonton wrappers and lay them out on a clean surface. Spoon 1 teaspoon of the pork mixture into the center of each wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wonton wrappers with beaten egg, fold over the filling to form a triangle, and press together to seal. Place the finished wontons on a baking sheet.
  3. Heat the canola oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C).
  4. Fry the wontons, about 6 at a time, until they turn golden brown and float to the top, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove, and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

FOOTNOTES

  • Editor's Note
  • If you prefer not to deep fry, these wontons may also be boiled in broth or soup until they float, 4 to 5 minutes.
