Deep Fried Wonton

Deep Fried Wonton
Wontons are incredibly versatile noodle dumplings. They can be served as appetizers, enjoyed in soup, or as part of a Chinese meal. For added flavor, serve them with a side of sweet and sour sauce (excluding when serving in soup). They freeze well (prior to cooking), making them a convenient option for preparing ahead of time.

Preparation time: 30 min


Cooking time: 20 min


Resting time: N/A


Total time: 50 min


Serves: makes 40 wontons

Ingredients:

- 1 package (8 ounces) of wonton wrappers


- 6 dried Chinese mushrooms, finely chopped


- 3 tablespoons of finely chopped bamboo shoots


- 4 ounces of prawns, finely chopped


- 4 green onions, finely chopped


- 1 teaspoon of salt


- 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce


- 1 teaspoon of sesame oil


- 1 clove of garlic, finely minced (optional)

Method:

- If using dried mushrooms, soak them in hot water for 30 minutes, then squeeze out the moisture, discard the stems, and finely chop.


- Combine the remaining ingredients and mix well.


- Place a small amount of filling, about 1/2 teaspoon, onto each wonton wrapper.


- Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water and fold over to form a triangle, ensuring that the points slightly overlap and press together.


- Bring the two ends together, dabbing a little of the filling mixture where they join to seal.


- You can now either deep fry them over medium heat for about 2 minutes until golden, add them to soup and cook for about 5 minutes, or steam them by placing them in a steamer without layering, and steam for about 10 minutes.

Notes:

For a flavorful dipping sauce, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and a touch of chili paste. Adjust the proportions to suit your taste and serve alongside the wontons for a delicious complement to their flavor.
