Fried Wonton

A host of Chinese seasonings, from oyster sauce to sesame oil, add extra flavor to this easy appetizer.

Be sure to finely chop Chinese black mushrooms so they are evenly distributed throughout the pork mixture - otherwise their flavor can overpower the other ingredients.

Yields approximately 48 fried wonton

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 pound ground pork
  • 1 leaf bok choy, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
  • 2 Chinese dried mushrooms, softened, stems removed, finely chopped
  • 1 green onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice wine or dry sherry
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • Salt to taste, optional
  • Black or white pepper, to taste
  • 1 package (48) wonton wrappers
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • Oil for frying

Preparation:

Combine first 12 ingredients in a bowl (up to the wonton wrappers), using your fingers to mix everything together.

Lay the wrapper in front of you so that it forms a diamond shape. Spread 1 teaspoon of filling in middle of wrapper. (Be sure not to overfill wonton â€" the filling might leak out during cooking or the wrapper will brown before the filling is cooked.)

Wet the left and right edges of the wonton with the beaten egg and bring them together, pressing to seal.

Heat 2 inches of oil in a wok to 360 F. Deep-fry the wonton, a few at a time, turning occasionally so they brown evenly. Deep-fry wonton about 2 minutes, until they turn golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
