Best Ever Pork Fried Wontons Recipe
Each fried wonton is filled with a juicy flavorful bite of pork and green onions, accented with soy and sesame flavors. They're wonderfully crispy around the edges, but chewy and toothsome where the wonton wrapper dough puffs around the filling.
Equipment
- 1 Dutch oven or soup pot
Ingredients
- ½ pound sausage or ground pork
- 1 Tablespoon finely chopped green onions
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 Tablespoon water
- 50 wonton wrappers
- 3 cups vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients, except vegetable oil and wonton skins, together in a bowl. Use a spoon or your hands to combine the ingredients.
- Put 1 teaspoon of pork mixture in the center of a wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with water, and fold to form a triangle. Seal and pinch corners together to make dumplings.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat. When oil is 350° F, almost bubbling, add wontons in batches, being careful not to crowd the pan.
- Fry in small batches until golden brown on all sides and cooked through. Remove from the oil a strainer or tongs and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
- Serve wontons warm with a dipping sauce made from equal parts mustard and honey, plus soy sauce to taste. These are also good with soy sauce and sriracha and hot Chinese mustard.

Notes
Look for wonton wrappers in the produce section of the grocery store, near the tofu, egg roll wrappers and fresh packaged herbs.
Use vegetable oil, canola oil or peanut oil for frying wontons.
Variations and substitutions
- Use ground pork or Italian-style sausage, instead of breakfast sausage, to make wontons.
- If you don't like green onions, you can substitute regular yellow or white onions. Just be sure to dice them finely.
- If you don't want to deep fry the pork wontons, you can make them in an air fryer, add them to broth, boiling for 5 minutes until they float, to make wonton soup them or steam them.
Reheating instructions:
- Place wontons in a single layer on a baking sheet and reheat for 5 to 10 minutes at 350 degrees F.
- Reheat them in an air fryer, set to 300 degrees F, for a few minutes. Just check them regularly to make sure they’re not browning too much.
