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.
