Ingredients
Scale
- For the Wonton Wrappers:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup water (adjust as needed)
- For the Filling:
- 1 cup ground pork
- 1/2 cup finely chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup shredded carrots
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger, grated
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the egg and water. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- In another bowl, mix together all filling ingredients until well combined.
- Roll out the dough thinly and cut into 3-inch squares.
- Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each square. Moisten the edges with water and fold to seal, forming a triangle or rectangle.
- Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the wontons in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with dipping sauce.
Notes
- Make-ahead: Wontons can be assembled and frozen before frying. Just fry them directly from the freezer, adding a minute or two to the cooking time.
- Storage: Store leftover cooked wontons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Substitutions: Use ground chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
