Fried Wontons

Fried wonton is a type of wonton (dumplings filled with pork or shrimp wrapped in thin dough) that is deep-fried until crispy instead of being boiled or steamed, usually served with sweet and sour dipping sauce or chili sauce. This dish has a light savory taste from the meat filling, with a crispy outer crust and a soft, fragrant filling inside; the spiciness depends on the accompanying dipping sauce. This is usually served as an appetizer, and should be eaten hot right after frying to keep its crispiness.
