Equipment you will need

mixing bowl

Small spoon

Frying pan or deep fryer

Slotted spoon or spider strainer

Paper towels

Plate or tray

Ingredients

1 pound shrimp (peeled, deveined, and finely chopped)
40-50 wonton wrappers
2 scallions (finely chopped)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped shrimp, scallions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Assemble the Wontons
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about a teaspoon of the shrimp mixture into the center of the wrapper.
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, fold in half to form a triangle, and press the edges to seal, ensuring no filling escapes. For added security, you can also pinch the edges for a tighter seal.
Fry the Wontons
Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a frying pan or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully slide the wontons into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the wontons to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve
Allow the wontons to cool slightly, then serve them warm with your choice of dipping sauces, such as sweet chili sauce or soy sauce.

Notes

Uniform Size: Keep the filling amount consistent to ensure even cooking.

Seal Well: Make sure the wontons are well-sealed to prevent them from opening during frying.

Fry in Batches: Avoid crowding the pan to ensure the wontons fry evenly and stay crispy.

Monitoring Oil Temperature: Use a cooking thermometer to maintain the correct oil temperature for the best results.
