Homemade Pork and Shrimp Won Tons

Sharing is caring!

Ingredients:

• Won Ton Wrappers
• ½ pound of Ground Pork
• ½ pound Shrimp - Cooked and Chopped Small
• 2 full stalks Green Onion - Finely ChoppedCo
• 8 Water Chesnuts - Finely Chopped
• 2 Garlic Cloves - Finely Chopped
• ½ teaspoon Ground Ginger
• 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
• 1 Package of Won Ton Wrappers

Directions:

• Finely chop and mix all the ingredients (except for the Won Ton Wrappers of course) together in a bowl.

• Place a scoop of the Won Ton mixture in the center of a wonton shell. (I like using a teaspoon for the right measurement.)
• Dip your finger in the small bowl of water,  then run your finger across each of the Won Ton wrapper's sides

• Fold wrapper in half (forming a triangle) pressing the wet edges together to seal.
• Dip your finger in the bowl of water again, and wet each point of the wrapper. Then fold the point toward the center. (wonton will look like a folded envelope.

Now it's time to cook the Won Tons 

• Heat your vegetable oil to 375° (in your deep fryer)

**You can fry the Won Tons in a pot of boiling oil, but I recommend getting a nice deep fryer. Why? It is hard to control the oil temperature in a pot so it is easier to burn the oil and your food. Also oil splatters. I love my Presto deep fryer because I can fill my frying basket with my food than lower it into the oil (while placing down the lid so I dont get splattered.

• Cook for 3 minutes or until light golden brown
• When the food is cooked. I then just lift the deep fryer basket out of the oil. Tap it a few times to get off the excess oil and dump the Won Tons onto a plate with a double folded paper towel (which help with any extra oil still on the Won Tons.
• Let cool just a smidge. Serve and Enjoy!

Did you know you can Freeze Won Tons for Later?

• Follow the instructions above, then after frying pat off any extra oil with a paper towel.
• Place single layer on a cookie sheet and then put in freezer for 1 hour.
• Download into a freezer ziplock and put back in freezer.
• When you want to heat up, just place on cookie sheet (I always line mine with Parchment Paper) and bake in the oven at 350° until rich golden brown
• Serve and Enjoy!!
