Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 6 | Wonton skins |
| 4 | Water chestnuts |

| 1/2 | Low sodium soy sauce |

Instructions:

Prepare the Filling:
- In a medium bowl, combine the ground pork, finely chopped water chestnuts, sliced green onion, low sodium soy sauce, salt, cornstarch, and ginger. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
-
Assemble the Wontons:
- Take a wonton skin and place a half teaspoon of the pork mixture in the center.
- Fold the wonton skin over the filling to form a triangle shape.
- Fold the top of the triangle down to meet the fold, ensuring the filling is securely enclosed.
- Moisten one corner of the triangle with water and overlap the opposite corner over the moistened corner. Press firmly to seal the edges.
-
Deep Fry the Wontons:
- Heat oil in a wok or large saucepan over medium-high heat until it reaches 375Β°F (190Β°C).
- Carefully place a few wontons into the hot oil, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Fry the wontons for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and become crispy.
-
Drain and Serve:
- Once golden brown, remove the fried wontons from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve the crispy wontons warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as an Asian dipping sauce, catsup and hot mustard, or sweet and sour sauce, as desired.
