Crispy Pork Wontons Recipe
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 1lb lean pork mince
- 1 small onion, peeled and roughly chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
- 1 green chilli, deseeded and chopped
- 4 tablespoon freshly chopped coriander
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 20 wonton wrappers
- 1 medium egg, lightly beaten
- Vegetable oil for deep frying
Directions:
1. Place
the onion, garlic, chilli and ginger in a food processor and blend
until very finely chopped. Add the pork, coriander and Chinese five
spice powder. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then blend again
briefly to mix. Divide the mixture into 20 equal portions and with
floured hands shape each into a walnut-sized ball.
2. Brush
the edges of a wonton wrapper with beaten egg, place a pork ball in the
centre, then bring the corners to the centre and pinch together to make
a money bag. Repeat the remaining pork balls and wrappers.
3. Pour
sufficient oil into a heavy-based saucepan or deep-fat fryer so that it
is one-third full and heat to 180 degrees C or 350 degrees F. Deep fry
the wontons in 3 to 4 batches for 3 to 4 minutes, or until cooked
through and golden and crisp. Drain on kitchen towel.
4. Serve the crispy pork wontons immediately, allowing 5 per person, with some chilli sauce for dipping.
