These crispy pork and veggie dumplings are a delightful twist on traditional wontons, featuring a flavorful filling and a golden, crunchy exterior.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, shredded carrot, chopped celery, and green onions.
Ensure the filling is well mixed to evenly distribute the flavors.
Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface.
Keep the wrappers covered with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.
Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each wrapper.
Avoid overfilling to make sealing easier.
Brush water along the edges of the wrapper and fold it over to form a triangle, pressing to seal the edges.
Press firmly to ensure the edges are sealed to prevent leaks during frying.
Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Use a thermometer to maintain the oil temperature for even frying.
Fry the dumplings in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain the oil temperature.
Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Let the dumplings rest for a minute to crisp up further.
Serve the dumplings warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Arrange the dumplings on a platter for an appealing presentation.
