Description
When you serve these amazing deep fried pork wontons to your guests, they’ll complain about the fact that you didn’t serve more. A super addictive appetiser!
Ingredients
- ½ pounds, ⅞ ounces, weight Pork Mince
- 1 Tablespoon Oyster Sauce
- 1 Spring Onion, Thinly Sliced
- 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Chinese Five Spice
- 5-⅓ ounces, weight Water Chestnuts, Chopped
- 2 teaspoons Soy Sauce
- 30 Wonton Wrappers
- 1 Egg White
- Plenty Of Light Oil (I Used Rice Bran Oil) For Deep Frying
Preparation
Mix pork, oyster sauce, spring onions, ground ginger, Chinese five spice, water chestnuts and soy sauce together in a bowl.
Lay out all the wonton wrappers on a flat, clean surface and then put about 1 teaspoon of pork filling in the middle of each wonton wrapper. Brush some egg white around the edge of each wonton wrapper, then stick one corner of the wonton wrapper to the opposite corner to make a nice triangle. Then brush some egg white on one side of that triangle and then pull both sides down and stick them together (if you’re confused, watch the demonstrational video in the post). Do this with the rest of the wontons.
Put enough oil in a pot for deep frying, then preheat that oil over medium-high heat (make sure the pot cannot be easily knocked over). Get a tray and line it with kitchen paper while you wait for the oil to heat up.
Once you think the oil is hot enough, get a tiny piece of wonton wrapper and put it in the oil. If the little piece of wonton wrapper floats, then the oil is hot enough to start frying the wontons. Add wontons carefully to the oil (if you can’t fit all of them at once, cook them in multiple batches) and fry for about 3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer onto kitchen paper to drain and then serve.
