US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine pork, shrimp, Chinese sausage, kinchay, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, salt, pepper and egg until well-distributed.
  • Separate wrappers into individual sheets and lay flat on a working board in a diamond shape.
  • Spoon a teaspoon of meat mixture on the middle of wrapper, moisten the sides with water, and fold diagonally into a triangle shape. Press edges to completely seal.
  • In a heavy-bottomed wide pan, heat about 2 inches deep of oil. Add wontons batches and deep-fry, turning once or twice, for about 3 to 5 minutes or until meat is fully cooked and wrappers are golden and crisp.
  • With a slotted spoon, remove from pan and drain on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Serve hot with sweet and sour sauce

Notes

  • Mix the filling with your hands until it's slightly tacky. This is to release myosin from the meat, which will keep the filling from falling apart during cooking. However, do not overmix to the point where the mixture is too homogenous, as it can toughen the texture.
  • Do not overstuff the wrappers to prevent them from bursting during frying. Make sure the filling is not too wet to cause tears on the wrapper.
  • Don't forget to taste test! Pan-fry a small portion of the meat mixture before wrapping and adjust seasonings as needed.
