- In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, ground chicken, salt, light soy sauce, dry sherry, chopped water chestnuts, chopped scallion, and egg. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
Assembly:
- Place a teaspoon of the filling mixture onto the center of each wonton skin.
Folding:
- Use any standard method of folding wontons. If unsure, refer to illustrations in Chinese cookbooks for folding techniques.
Cooking:
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully add a few wontons at a time into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot.
- Fry until the wontons are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil.
Draining:
- Place the fried wontons on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Testing and Adjusting:
- Always test the oil temperature by frying one wonton first. Adjust the heat if necessary to ensure even cooking and avoid burning.
Serving:
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet and sour sauce or soy sauce with chopped scallions.

Ensure the filling is well-mixed for even flavor in each wonton.
Keep the wonton skins covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying out while assembling.
Monitor oil temperature closely to achieve crispy, evenly cooked wontons.
