Deep Fried Wontons

Deep Fried Wonton

3        small pkgs. REGULAR Jimmy Dean Sausage

1         bunch scallions, green part only, finely diced

1         egg

A little less than ¼ C. soy sauce

2        pkgs. wonton wrappers....the freshest that you can find and at least 50 in each package.

You'll need a deep fat fryer to cook wontons.  Heat the oil to the highest setting.  Mix the pork sausage, diced scallion and egg together with a fork.  Add soy sauce until the mixture is a tan or light brown color.

Take a teaspoonful of the mixture and place in the center of a wonton wrapper.  Dot the edges of the wrapper with water to help it stick together.

Gather the edges of the wonton wrapper; press together and twist the edges to look like a duffle bag.  For another look, gather 2 corners together, then roll like a party favor, twisting ends closed.

Heat the oil in the deep fryer and fry the wonton until golden brown in color. Remove from fryer and let drain on a steel rack until cooled down.  Once cooled, arrange on serving platter or bowl & enjoy!
