Fried Wontons Recipe

I just tried Chinese fried wontons at the buffet last week and they were delicious. So, of course, I had to make them at home. The ones I had at the buffet were filled with juicy pork and had an intense ginger flavor. These are a nice change from crab rangoons. The wontons are filled with ingredients such as pork, carrots, celery, garlic, and ginger. The wontons get a lot of their flavor from garlic, ginger and soy sauce. If you are a fan of Asian food, you know the combination is fantastic. There are many ways to fold wontons. I folded them into a bag shape but the easiest way is to fold them into a triangle. This recipe will make about 50 fried wontons and makes a great appetizer for any party or event. Serve with your favorite sweet and sour sauce. Enjoy.
