Ingredients

• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 (14 ounce) packages small won ton wrappers
• 1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and minced
• 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
• 0.25 cup vegetable oil
• 1.5 pounds ground beef

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

In a large frying pan, brown the beef in 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over medium heat. Mix in water chestnuts, onion, celery, and Worcestershire sauce until combined; there is no need to cook the vegetables. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Place one tablespoon of the beef mixture into the center of each wonton wrapper. Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, and then roll the wrapper up around the filling egg roll style.

Step 3

In an electric deep fryer or a heavy saucepan, heat oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Deep fry rolls until their wrappers are golden brown; fry in batches to maintain an even temperature. Once cooked, place the rolls on paper towels to drain. Serve warm.
