How to Make Wonderful Wontons
- In a large bowl, combine ground pork, Napa cabbage, green onions, minced garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and white pepper.
- Gently mix all filling ingredients until well combined.
- Let the filling mixture sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Place a heaping teaspoon of the filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.
- Lightly moisten the edges of the wrapper with water using a pastry brush or your finger.
- Fold the wrapper in half over the filling to form a triangle.
- Pinch the edges firmly to seal completely.
- Bring two opposite corners of the triangle together. Moisten one corner with water.
- Overlap the moistened corner with the other corner to form a shape similar to a small purse or a crescent moon.
- Press firmly to seal, ensuring there are no air pockets.
- While assembling the wontons, cover already filled ones with a clean, damp kitchen towel to prevent drying.
- Pour enough vegetable oil into a wok or large heavy-bottomed pot to reach a depth of about 3 inches. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature.
- Carefully add about half of the wontons to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.
- Deep-fry the wontons, in batches if necessary, for 2-3 minutes, turning frequently with a slotted spoon or spider, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the cooked wontons from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Repeat steps 13-15 with the remaining wontons.
- Serve the golden wontons immediately with your favorite sweet and sour dipping sauce.
