Wonton is a type of dumpling usually found in ramen, soup and other Chinese cuisines. Wonton also spelled as wuntun, wanton or wantan is a perfect appetizer. It is also wonderful to eat with rice. Deep fried wontons are made by placing a filling of ground pork in the center and sealing the wrapper’s edge.

Typically, the wonton filling is shrimp and ground pork. It is seasoned with spices, salt, green onion and garlic. Wontons are also boiled and served in ramen or soup. But wontons are also great deep fried in hot oil. My deep fried wontons recipe is similar to the wontons served in restaurants.

By the way, wonton wrapper is made of flour, water, egg and salt. I don’t know how to make wonton wrapper so I just buy the wrapper at supermarket. My kids love my fried wonton recipe and they also enjoy helping me made wonton. I hope that you will also enjoy my recipe and sweet dipping sauce.
