directions

Step 1

Combine the pork with the rest of the ingredients for the filling in a medium bowl.

Step 2

Assembly the dumplings as follows: Place a piece of wonton on a flat surface about 1 Tablespoon of filling onto the wrapper, being careful not to overfill.

Step 3

Dip your finger in a bowl of warm water and circle around the filling, and fold over to form a triangle shape.

Step 4

Using both thumbs and index fingers, press and squeeze both sides of the dumplings towards the centre to form the folds. Seal the dumpling by dipping your index finger into a small bowl of water and circle around the outer edges of the wonton wrapper.

Step 5

Place them on a floured surface or baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth to prevent drying.

Step 6

Heat 2 to 3 inches of oil in a wok or stock pot to 350°F (180ºC) for deep-frying. Gently drop the pork dumplings into the oil and deep fry in batches. Deep-fry until they turn golden brown. Dish out with a slotted spoon, draining the excess oil by placing hot dumplings on a wire rack or dish lined with paper towels.

Step 7

Blend all ingredients together and serve alongside wontons. Enjoy!
