Thai Fried Wontons
These Thai Fried Wontons are crispy, golden, and packed with a savory mix of pork, garlic, and cilantro. They’re quick to fry and even faster to disappear—perfect as a crunchy appetizer to dip in Thai sweet chili sauce.
Servings: 32 wontons
Ingredients
- 300 g ground pork
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 3 dashes ground white pepper
- wonton wrappers preferably square
- Thai sweet chili sauce for dipping
- oil for deep frying
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together the ground pork, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, fish sauce, and ground white pepper until well combined.
- Scoop a teaspoon of the filling right into the center of a wonton wrapper. Lightly dab the edges with a bit of water, then fold it over to make a triangle. Press the edges to seal them tight.
- In a pot, heat up enough oil to deep fry the wontons. Carefully add the wontons to the hot oil and fry them, flipping to ensure both sides are evenly golden and crispy.
- Remove the wontons and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve hot with Thai sweet chili sauce or your favorite chili sauce.
