Instructions
1
In a mixing bowl, combine the pork sausage, finely chopped green onions, minced garlic, wok oil or sesame oil, soy sauce, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly to incorporate all ingredients evenly. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
2
Prepare the wonton wrappers by laying them out on a clean surface. Using a small bowl of water, lightly wet the edges of each wrapper to help seal them.
3
Place about a teaspoon of the pork mixture in the center of each wrapper. Carefully fold the wrapper over to form a triangle, ensuring not to let any filling spill out. Press the edges firmly to seal.
4
In a deep frying pan or large skillet, heat vegetable or peanut oil over medium-high heat until it reaches at least 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil's readiness by dropping in a small piece of wonton; it should sizzle immediately.
5
Fry the wontons in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they reach a golden brown color.
6
Once cooked, transfer the wontons to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauces.
