This ‘Crispy Fried Pork Wontons’ is a perfect finger food for parties. It would be better to wrap Wontons in a simple way, so that it is easy to pick up. Today I just made them into triangles. If you season the filling well, dipping sauces would be unnecessary, but I include two dipping sauce recipes.

200 to 250g Pork Mince
1 small piece Ginger *grated
1 clove Garlic *grated
1 to 2 Spring Onions *finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Soy Sauce

1 pack Wonton Wrappers *25 to 30 sheets

Sweet & Sour Dipping Sauce
1 tablespoon Sugar *add more if you like the sauce sweeter
2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar

Method
- Place Pork Mince, Ginger, Garlic, Spring Onion, Salt, Sugar and Soy Sauce in a mixing bowl, and mix well.
- Place 1 wonton wrapper on a flat surface such as a plate, place 1 heaped teaspoon Pork mixture in centre. Wet edges with water and fold up to form a triangle and pinch to enclose very well. Repeat with remaining mixture and wrappers.
- *Note: If you are willing to do an extra work, make some pleats on the top sides of the triangle, then press firmly.
- Heat Oil to 160 to 170℃ and deep-fry them until nicely browned. *Note: If the oil is too hot, Wontons get browned too quickly before the filling is cooked.
- Serve with your favourite dipping sauce.
