Wontons

Our first neighbor when we were newlyweds was the owner of a chinese restraunt. We did not have a lot of money back in those days and every once in a while he would treat us to some goodness he would bring home from the restraunt. This recipe is dedicated to him and his wife our first neighborw who treated some teenage parents to something we would not of otherwise been able to afford

1lb ground pork
3 garlic cloves (chopped)
1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
3 carrots (finely diced)
3 celery stalks (finely chopped)
6 green onions (finely chopped)
1 (12 ounce) package wonton wrappers
1-2 eggs (beaten, for sealing)
Oil (for deep frying)


Step 1: In a large bowl combine pork, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, carrots, celery, and green onions. Stir to mix.
Step 2: In a bowl beat eggs. Lay out a wonton wrapper and place a heaping teaspoon of the filling into the center of the wrapper. Brush egg on 2 edges on one side of the wrapper. Fold over to form a triangle and seal the edges tightly with your finger. Repeat until all the wrappers and/or filling are used.
Step 3: Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees. Deep fry in bathes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
(Makes about 50 wontons)
