Ingredients

1lb ground pork (or turkey or chicken)

2 inch piece of ginger - peeled and minced

4 garlic cloves - peeled and minced

1 scallion (green onion) - thinly sliced

1 Tbsp cornstarch

1 Tbsp soy

1 tsp oyster sauce

1 tsp sesame oil

Pinch cayenne *optional

1 package Wonton wrappers (egg roll wrappers work well, too)

1/4 cup slurry (2:1 ratio of water to cornstarch)

Canola or peanut oil for frying

For the Sweat and Sour Sauce: 1/3 cup rice vinegar

4 Tbsp brown sugar

1 Tbsp ketchup

1 tsp soy sauce

6 tsp slurry

Directions

In a bowl, combine the ground meat, garlic, ginger, scallion, sesame oil, soy, cayenne and cornstarch. Fry up a tiny amount in a frying pan to taste for seasoning. Add salt if necessary before continuing.

On a clean work surface, lay several wonton wrappers down and cover the remainder in a damp cloth to keep from drying out.

Place 1 tbsp of filling in the centre of each wrapper. Rub slurry on the wrapper, around the mixture, fold and pinch the dough together to seal.

For sauce: Combine vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup and soy in a pot and bring to a boil. Stir in slurry while whisking until thickened. Set aside.

Heat the oil in your deep fryer or wok to about 350 degrees. Fry the wontons, a few at a time, until golden brown - about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towel and serve with sweet and sour sauce.

***I fry up batches in advance, freeze them in air-tight bags and when I'm ready to serve them, I reheat them (still frozen) in the oven at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
