Steps:
- Start by making the filling. Simply combine the ground pork, chopped scallions, sesame oil, soy sauce, wine (or sherry), sugar, oil, water, and white pepper in a bowl. Whip everything together by hand for 5 minutes or in a food processor for 1 minute. You want the pork to look a bit like a paste.
- To make the wontons, take a wrapper, and add about a teaspoon of filling. Overstuffed wontons will pop open during the cooking process and make a mess. Use your finger to coat the edges with a little water (this helps the two sides seal together).
- For shape #1:
- Fold the wrapper in half into a rectangle, and press the two sides together so you get a firm seal. Hold the bottom two corners of the little rectangle you just made, and bring the two corners together, pressing firmly to seal. (Use a little water to make sure it sticks.)
- Shape #2:
- Fold the wonton in half so you have a triangle shape. Bring together the two outer corners, and press to seal (you can use a little water to make sure it sticks).
- Keep assembling until all the filling is gone (this recipe should make between 40 and 50 wontons). Place the wontons on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- At this point, you can cover the wontons with plastic wrap, put the baking sheet/plate into the freezer, and transfer them to Ziploc bags once they're frozen. They'll keep for a couple months in the freezer and be ready for the fryer whenever you're ready.
- To conserve oil, use a small pot to fry the wontons. Fill it with 2 to 3 inches of oil, making sure the pot is deep enough so the oil does not overflow when adding the wontons. Heat the oil to 350 degrees, and fry in small batches, turning the wontons occasionally until they are golden brown.
- If you have a small spider strainer or slotted spoon, you can use it to keep the wontons submerged when frying. This method will give you the most uniform golden brown look without the fuss of turning them. Remove the fried wontons to a sheet pan lined with paper towels or a metal cooling rack to drain.
- To make one or all of the sauces, simply mix the respective ingredients in a small bowl, and you're ready to eat!

Steps:
- Finely chop water chestnuts and green onions.
- In a large bowl, mix water chestnuts, green onions, pork, and beef. Add soy sauce and mix well.
- Take one wonton skin out of the pack. Using your finger, wet the edges of the wonton.
- Scoop about a teaspoon of filling into the middle of the wrap and fold like a triangle. Press the edges firmly to seal.
- Finish wrapping the rest of the wontons until all the filling is gone. If you stuff your wontons well, this will only take one pack of wonton skins, but I often go over by about 3-5 wontons.
- When ready to fry, heat up oil in a deep skillet or wok to 350 degrees F.
- Fry wontons until cooked through, flipping halfway through cooking. This takes me about 2 minutes per side. I can comfortably fit about 7-8 wontons in my 12 inch cast iron skillet.
- Line a serving platter with paper towels to absorb the leftover oil as the cooked wontons cool. Wontons can be enjoyed at room temperature, but keep leftovers in the fridge.
