Deep fried wontons with sweet chili sauce dipping
I never had the need to learn to make fried wonton when I lived in Jakarta. There’s this one place that sells amazingly crispy and yummie fried wonton – although it’s the chicken noodle that’s to-die-for. You know where it is 😉 Since I live in the mainland, I rarely find any fried wonton, you know, the crispy ones. If there’s one, it would be soaking wet in oil with the flavours I barely recognize.
I come to one conclusion, the best chinese food is not in the mainland China. It’s in South East Asia. Singapore-Indonesia or Malaysia. Anyway, this is my first trial to make fried wonton. So simple and makes a great afternoon or evening snacks.

There’re several different versions of the recipe, but I like this one better. I know how it should taste like, at least.
DEEP FRIED WONTONS
Ingredients:
* 1 packet of wonton wrappers (square ones) from market
* 1/2 pound minced chicken
* 5 pcs of large prawns – minced

* 1 tbsp of oyster sauce
* 1/2 tsp. sesame oil
* 1/2 tsp. sugar
* 1 egg – whisked
* 1 tsp. corn or potato starch
* salt and pepper to taste
** Mix them all together
Cooking Directions:
1.) Prepare the filling, place about 1 tsp filling in the center of the skin
Brush egg white to the edges and around the filling
Seal it tight in a triangle shape, seal the two edge together
and make a tight pocket
2.) Repeat until filling is finished
3.) Heat up oil in a deep heavy skillet over medium heat
4.) Fry wonton for a few minutes on each side or until golden brown.
5.) Remove and drain oil on paper towels
