Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 pound ground pork
• 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
• 1 cup diced onion
• 1 cup diced celery
• 1 (14 ounce) package wonton wrappers
• 1 cup shredded carrot
• 1 quart canola oil for frying
• 0.25 cup soy sauce

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix together ground pork, celery, carrot, onion, and garlic in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and soy sauce; mix with your hands until well blended.

Step 2

Separate the wonton wrappers and lay them out on a clean surface. Spoon 1 teaspoon pork mixture into the center of each wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wonton wrappers with beaten egg, fold over the filling to form a triangle, and press together to seal. Place the finished wontons on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Heat canola oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C).

Step 4

Fry wontons, about 6 at a time, in hot oil until golden brown and they float to the top, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
