FRIED WONTONS
When I was a child, my mom often kept me busy making wontons, putting three or four packages of the skins and a big bowl of pork-and-shrimp filling in front of me. (That's 150 to 200 wontons!) She served the fried wontons to family and guests alike, who delighted in dipping the crispy morsels into our homemade sweet-and-sour sauce, a lighter version of the Chinese classic flavored with fish sauce instead of soy sauce.

Steps:
- To make the filling, in a bowl, combine the pork, shrimp, scallion, garlic, cornstarch, sugar, salt, and pepper and use chopsticks or a fork to mix well.
- To fill the wontons, work in batches of 6 to 8 wonton skins. Place them on a work surface, such as large cutting board, inverted baking sheet, or tray. Using 2 teaspoons or demitasse spoons, place a scant teaspoon of filling (about the size of a 1/2-inch marble) in the center of a wonton skin. Dip a pastry brush in water and lightly brush the entire edge of the skin. Pick up a corner of the wonton skin and fold it over, enclosing the filling and forming a triangle. Press the edges of the triangle firmly with your finger to seal. Make sure that there are no air bubbles, or the wontons will bob around in the hot oil, and that the edges are well sealed, or the wontons will split open when they hit the hot oil. Place the finished wonton on a large plate or tray. Repeat until all the filling is used up.
- Put a wire rack on a baking sheet and place the sheet next to the stove. Pour oil to a depth of 1 1/2 inches into a wok or 5-quart Dutch oven and heat over medium-high heat to 350°F on a deep-frying thermometer. (If you don't have a thermometer, stand a dry bamboo chopstick in the oil; if small bubbles immediately gather on the surface around the chopstick, the oil is ready.)
- Working in batches of 4 to 6, slide the wontons into the hot oil and fry, turning once, for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Using a skimmer, transfer to the rack to drain.
- Arrange the wontons on a platter. Serve hot as finger food along with the sauce for dipping.

Steps:
- Beat the egg white and water together in a small bowl; set aside. Lightly mix the ground beef, sausage, 1 tablespoon sweet chile sauce, five-spice powder, garlic powder, green onion, and salt and pepper. Place about 1 teaspoonful of the meat mixture onto a wonton wrapper with one corner facing you. Fold in the left and right corners of the wrapper to slightly overlap the filling, then tightly roll the lower corner up to create a pocket around the filling. Continue rolling until just the tip of the remaining corner is visible; brush the corner with the egg white mixture to seal.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Fry the egg rolls in the hot oil in batches until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve with 1/2 cup of sweet chili sauce.

FRIED WON TONS (AMERICAN STYLE)
I'm an Army Brat raised by a Southern mom. Many of the foods that my mom cooks have origins somewhere else, but she would always give them her own special Southern twist. This is is one of them. The recipe came from a Korean friend but my mom made it distinctly American using ground beef and onions. While this recipe has few ingredients, it is a booger to make because it is time-consuming. We only have these on special occasions and only two or three times per year. But in spite of all that, you need to give these a try. You won't be disappointed.

Steps:
- Several hours before you want to fry the won tons, brown the beef. Then add the onions, jalapenos,and garlic. Add the salt and pepper. Let simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Allow the ground beef mixture to come to room temperature.
- Prepare all of the ingredients that you will need to assemble the won tons. You will want your wrappers, your ground beef mixture, a small bowl of water for dampening the wrappers, a small spoon or teaspoon.
- Take one wrapper and fill it with the desired amount of filling taking care not to overfill; if you put too much filling in your wrapper, your wrapper will not seal properly.
- Moisten the edges of the wrapper and overlap them to create a little "envelope". There are other ways to fold won tons, but I find this is the easiest for me.
- Place each assembled won ton on a tray lined with parchment paper; for each new layer, put down a new piece of parchment. The won tons shouldn't stick to one another before they are fried.
- Continue assembling the won tons until you either run out of filling or run out of wrappers. Usually I run out of wrappers before I run out of filling~I just use whatever filling is left for another recipe.
- When your peanut oil has reached at 350 degrees, you will place around twenty to twenty-five won tons for each frying. When the won tons float to the top and they are golden brown, you know they are ready to eat.
