These wontons are packed full of flavour with ingredients like soy sauce and sesame oil. The ground pork is mixed with a variety of ingredients and then placed into wontons wrappers. The wontons are then folded and fried in hot oil until fully cooked. There are a couple of different ways to fold these wontons. You can fold them into triangles like crab Rangoon’s or you can fold them into a bag shape. I like to serve these pork fried wontons with sweet and sour sauce. Enjoy.

Ingredients:
- 1/2 lb ground pork

- In a bowl beat together the two eggs. Lay out a wonton wrapper and place a heaping teaspoon of the filling into the center of the wrapper. Brush egg on 2 edges on one side of the wrapper. Fold over to form a triangle and seal the edges tightly with your finger. Repeat until all the wrappers and/or filling are used.
