Recipe View 1 mins Serve immediately while warm, with your favorite dipping sauces. Ketchup, mustard, sweet and sour sauce, or even a spicy mayo are all excellent choices. (Prep time: 1 minute)

For extra flavor, add a pinch of white pepper or a dash of sesame oil to the pork mixture.
If you don't have fresh ginger, you can substitute 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger.
Be careful not to overfill the wontons, or they may burst open during frying.
If the wonton skins are dry, lightly brush them with water before filling to make them more pliable.
Wontons can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before frying. Store them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground pork with finely chopped mushrooms and firm tofu.

    I tried the vegetarian version with mushrooms and tofu, and it was surprisingly good! Thanks for the suggestion.

  • Kaleigh Brakus

    The filling was perfectly seasoned, and the wontons came out super crispy. I'll definitely be making these again!

  • Philip Paucek

    The tip about refrigerating them before frying was a lifesaver. I made them ahead of time for a party, and it saved me so much stress.

  • Jazmyn Kiehn

    These were so easy to make and absolutely delicious! My family loved them.

  • Tyrique Reinger

    I added a little bit of sriracha to the filling for a kick, and it was amazing!
