How To Make Crispy Fried Shrimp and Pork Wontons
Ingredients
- wonton wrappers
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp water
- vegetable oil , for frying, roughly 5 to 7 cups
Filling:
- 7½ oz shrimps, shelled, deveined and roughly chopped
- 3½ oz ground pork, minced
- 2 tbsp green onions , thinly sliced, (green parts only)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce, preferably light
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp sesame oil
- ¼ tsp ground white pepper, optional
To serve:
- sweet chili sauce, or plum sauce
Instructions
-
In a bowl, combine all your ingredients for the filling. Mix well until it becomes sticky and travels together when mixed. Set aside.
-
In a small bowl, dilute the cornstarch with water to form the slurry to seal the wonton wrappers.
-
Lay each wrapper out one at a time and put 2 teaspoons of filling in the center.
-
Spread the slurry with your finger along the edges of your wonton wrapper.
-
Fold together the two opposite corners to form a triangular wonton.
-
Press along the edges to release as much air as possible. Repeat until you have sealed and prepared all your wontons in this manner.
-
From this point, you can freeze the wontons for future use. Should you do so, you can immediately cook these without defrosting and use a dusted baking sheet to store these.
-
Preheat your oil ready for frying. Prepare also a basket lined with paper towels.
-
Deep fry the wontons in batches for roughly 8 to 10 minutes until golden brown and crisp. You will need to flip these several times for an even finish.
-
Drain on a plate lined with a papers towel and serve immediately with ¼ cup of dipping sauce of choice. Garnish with 1 teaspoon of green onions.
