Spicy Beef Wontons

By Coppermouse

Ingredients

• 8 ounces cooked steak, diced
• 3 medium scallions, minced
• 1 serrano pepper, minced
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 25 wonton wrappers \
• 2 quarts neutral oil, for frying
• Soy sauce, for dipping
• Chili garlic sauce, for dipping

Preparation

Step 1

Mince the steak finely. Combine steak with scallions, peppers, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a bowl.

2. Take one wonton wrapper and lay it flat on a clean, dry surface. Place one heaping teaspoon of filling on the wrapper.

3. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water and fold the wrapper over, corner to corner, to make a triangle. Pick up the wonton and make a crimp in the middle, then fold the two bottom ends of the triangle so they overlap slightly. Add a dab of water on the two ends to hold them in place.

4. Fold the top flap down slightly to secure the wonton. Set the finished wonton on a clean plate.

5. Once all wontons are formed, fry them in oil in batches for about 5 minutes at 350ºF. Be sure to use a deep-fry thermometer to control oil temperature.

6. Let the wontons drain on a paper towel when they come out of the fryer. Serve immediately with soy sauce or chili garlic sauce.
