Ingredients
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and diced
- ½ of an 8 ounce can (about 8 pieces) water chestnuts, diced
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon white pepper
- 32 square wonton wrappers
Instructions
- Make the filling: mix together all the ingredients (except for the wonton wrappers).
- Lay a wonton wrapper on a flat plate. Place about 2 teaspoons of filling in the center.
- Lightly moisten all four edges and fold the wrapper in half, forming a rectangular pouch. Seal the edges, and make sure to press out any air pockets. Repeat until you've used up all the wonton wrappers and filling.
- Deep fry till golden brown. It should take about 2 minutes to fry each side with the oil at 350F. Serve hot!
- Eat plain or pair with a dipping sauce. Popular dipping sauce includes soy sauce mixed with hot mustard, duck sauce, or sweet and sour sauce. Enjoy ^_^
