| Step | Details |
|---|---|
| 1. | Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, diced carrots, chopped celery, and sliced green onions. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. |
| 2. | Assemble the Wontons: Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean, flat surface. Place a heaping teaspoon of the prepared filling mixture in the center of each wrapper. |
| 3. | Seal the Wontons: Brush water along two adjacent edges of each wonton wrapper, leaving a quarter-inch border. Fold the wrapper over to form a triangle, pressing down the edges to seal tightly. |
| 4. | Shape the Wontons: Pinch together the two long outside points of the triangle to ensure the wontons are securely sealed. Repeat this process until all wrappers are filled and sealed. |
| 5. | Fry the Wontons: Heat oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 450Β°F (230Β°C). Carefully add 4 to 5 wontons at a time to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the wontons until they turn golden brown and crispy, approximately 2-3 minutes per batch. |
| 6. | Drain and Serve: Once cooked, remove the fried wontons from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve the hot and crispy wontons immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as a mixture of soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce. |
