Original Recipe Yield 48 wontons
 

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) pork tenderloin, cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 dash soy sauce
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 (12 ounce) package square wonton wrappers
  • 1 egg white, beaten
  • 2 quarts peanut oil for frying

Directions

  1. Combine the pork, ginger, garlic, green onion, lime juice, crushed red pepper, sesame oil, and soy sauce in a food processor. Season mixture with salt and pepper. Pulse until pork is minced to the consistency of ground beef.
  2. Separate the wonton wrappers and lay them out on a clean surface. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture into the center of each wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wonton wrappers with water, fold over the filling to form a triangle, and press together to seal. Brush each wonton with egg white.
  3. Pour the peanut oil into a large pot and preheat to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C).
  4. Gently drop wontons into the hot oil and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove to paper towels to drain.
