Serve fried wontons with a dipping sauce made from equal parts mustard and honey, plus soy sauce to taste.

Pork wontons can also be made in an air fryer.

Air fryer wontons cook in just 10 minutes, and they come out crispy and delicious.

There’s no difference in taste between the air fried and deep fried wontons. The air fryer wontons don’t puff up as much in the center so they are a bit crispier.
