Directions

Mix all filling ingredients together in a bowl and follow these steps; repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers:

  • ​Lay 6 wonton wrappers on a counter or cutting board
  • Fill a small bowl with cold water, and keep it nearby. Spoon 1 tsp (4mL) of the filling into the centre of each wrapper.
  • Using small pastry brush or your finger, dab the edges of the wrappers with bit of water
  • Fold the wrappers in half to form a triangle, and press the edges to seal them closed
  • Fold the tips of the longer edges together, tucking one underneath
  • Lay the formed wontons flat on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

​Fill a skillet with 1 inch of oil. Heat over medium heat until simmering. Add the wontons in batches, being careful not to crowd the pan. Turn over using tongs and fry until golden brown (approx. 3-5 minutes). Remove onto paper towel, lightly season with salt. Alternatively, if you have a mini home fryer, you can use as per instructions.
