Fried Wontons
Wonton, also known as "hun tun," is a common snack. In Cantonese, the pronunciation of "hun tun" is the same as "yun tun," so for ease of writing, Cantonese speakers directly use "yun tun." Fried wontons are a delicacy, primarily made with meat filling and deep-fried to achieve a crispy texture. They are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, suitable for those who enjoy fried foods.
INGREDIENTS
- 15 pieces of wonton wrappers
- 150g of pork
DIRECTIONS
Prepare the ingredients and wash 100 grams of green bell pepper thoroughly.
Chop the washed green bell pepper into small pieces and set aside.
Mince the 150 grams of pork into ground meat and place it on a plate.
Mix the minced pork with the chopped green bell pepper. Crack in one egg, add 15 grams of salt, and 20 grams of black pepper. Stir everything together evenly.
To start wrapping wontons, take one wonton wrapper in the palm of your hand. Place a moderate amount of filling in the center. Use your other hand to fold the wonton wrapper in half diagonally, pressing to seal the edges tightly. Finally, fold and press the remaining corners inward to secure them. Repeat until all the filling is used.
Tip:
Avoid overfilling the wontons; a small amount is sufficient. Otherwise, the wonton wrappers may become golden brown before the filling is fully cooked during frying.
Heat 150 grams of oil in a pan. When the oil temperature reaches around 70-80% hot, carefully add the wrapped wontons in batches. Fry them over medium-low heat for about four minutes.
Tip:
Before frying the wontons, ensure that the oil reaches the appropriate temperature. Generally, when the oil is around 70-80% hot, frying the wontons ensures that the outer shell becomes crispy while the inside cooks through properly.
Fry the wontons until they are golden brown and crispy.
