Ingredients
- wonton wrappers
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp water
- vegetable oil , for frying, roughly 5 to 7 cups
Filling:
- 7½ oz shrimps, shelled, deveined and roughly chopped
- 3½ oz ground pork, minced

- 2 tbsp soy sauce, preferably light
- 1 tsp cornstarch

Instructions
- In a bowl, combine all your ingredients for the filling. Mix well until it becomes sticky and travels together when mixed. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, dilute the cornstarch with water to form the slurry to seal the wonton wrappers.
- Lay each wrapper out one at a time and put 2 teaspoons of filling in the center.
- Spread the slurry with your finger along the edges of your wonton wrapper.
- Fold together the two opposite corners to form a triangular wonton.
- Press along the edges to release as much air as possible. Repeat until you have sealed and prepared all your wontons in this manner.
- From this point, you can freeze the wontons for future use. Should you do so, you can immediately cook these without defrosting and use a dusted baking sheet to store these.
- Preheat your oil ready for frying. Prepare also a basket lined with paper towels.
- Deep fry the wontons in batches for roughly 8 to 10 minutes until golden brown and crisp. You will need to flip these several times for an even finish.
- Drain on a plate lined with a papers towel and serve immediately with ¼ cup of dipping sauce of choice. Garnish with 1 teaspoon of green onions.
