Ingredients
- 2 cups cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 cup bean sprouts, chopped
- ½ cup carrot, grated
- 1½ cups ground beef
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- ⅓ cup sesame seeds
- ⅓ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1½ cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1½ packages wonton wrappers (about 30 wrappers per package)
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons water
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Vegetable Filling
Begin by heating 1½ teaspoons of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely shredded cabbage, chopped bean sprouts, and grated carrot. Stir-fry the vegetables until they become tender, which should take about 5 minutes. Once cooked, transfer the vegetables to a large bowl and set them aside. -
Cook the Ground Beef
In a small skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until it is fully cooked. Make sure to drain any excess fat. Add the cooked beef to the bowl with the vegetables. -
Mix in Flavorings
To the beef and vegetable mixture, stir in the chopped green onions, sesame seeds, ground ginger, minced garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined. -
Assemble the Wontons
Prepare your wonton wrappers by laying them out on a clean surface. Place approximately 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of each wrapper. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Using a brush or your finger, moisten the edges of each wonton wrapper with the egg mixture. Fold the opposite corners of the wrapper together to form a triangle and press the edges firmly to seal. Make sure they are well sealed to prevent the filling from escaping during cooking. -
Cook the Wontons
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the wontons in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry the wontons for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. If needed, add more oil to the skillet to ensure all wontons are evenly cooked. -
Serve and Enjoy
Once all the wontons are cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve warm and enjoy these delectable Korean wontons as an appetizer or a snack!
