Ingredients
- 1 pound ground meat (chicken, turkey, beef, lamb, pork)
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 stalk green onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 cups finely chopped kale (leaf only) or vegetables of your choice
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 egg
- 50 wonton wrappers, defrosted
- cooking oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the meat, ginger, garlic, green onions, soy sauce, oyster sauce, curry powder and kale and mix well to combine. To make the egg wash, in a small bowl, add the water and egg and whisk with a fork.
- To assemble the wontons, place a wonton wrapper flat in the palm of your hand. If frying, add 1 teaspoon of mixture to the center of the wrapper. If boiling, add 1 tablespoon of the mixture. Dip a finger in the egg wash, and paint all 4 edges with the wash. Fold the wonton in half, corner to opposite corner to make a triangle. Seal tightly all around. Make sure there are no air pockets or holes in the wonton. Fold the longer two triangle points together and seal to make the wonton shape.
- Place folded wonton on a clean, dry plate or baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap to avoid drying out. When wontons are all folded, you can store or freeze.
- To fry wontons, add 1 to 1 1/2 inches of cooking oil to a wok or pot. Heat the oil until it reaches 375F. Add a few wontons to the oil to fry, turning occasionally until they are golden brown. Remove them to a draining rack placed over a baking sheet so they can drain excess oil.
- To boil wontons, see the recipe direction #6 from the Pork and Spinach Wontons recipe.
