Crispy Shrimp and Pork Wontons
Ingredients
  • 1/2 pound ground pork
  • 3/4 pound cooked shrimp, shelled, deveined and coarsely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons minced green onions
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
  • 2 tablespoons chopped water chestnuts
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 pinch white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon dry sherry
  • 1 teaspoon chili oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 (16 ounce) package wonton skins
  • 1 pinch garlic salt
  • 1 egg white
Instructions
1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the ground pork until it is no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
2
In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, ground pork, chopped green onions, grated ginger, and water chestnuts. Mix well with a spoon to combine.
3
Add the cornstarch, garlic salt, and sugar to the bowl and mix until they are fully incorporated into the mixture.
4
Next, add the dry sherry, chili oil, soy sauce, and sesame oil to the bowl and mix until everything is well combined.
5
Spoon about one teaspoon of the mixture onto the center of each wonton wrapper, leaving a small border around the edges.
6
Bring the points of the wrapper together to form a triangle and pinch the edges shut, sealing them with a small amount of egg white.
7
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to the boil and carefully add the wontons one by one, making sure not to overcrowd the pot.
8
If necessary, work in batches and cook the wontons until they float to the surface. Then, add a cup of cold water and bring the mixture to a boil again before removing it from the boiling water.
