Yield 20 wontons

Number Of Ingredients 17

3/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar
4 ounces ground pork
2 ounces Chinese cabbage, thinly sliced
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dark sesame oil

oil, for deep frying

Steps:

  • Combine the ingredients for the mustard sauce in a small bowl and mix well. Set aside.
  • Mix filling ingredients together in a medium bowl. Beat the egg with the water in a small bowl.
  • To assemble the wontons, brush the edges of each wrapper with the egg wash. Place 2 teaspoons of the filling into each wrapper. Fold the wonton in half to make a triangle. Press to seal the edges securely. Bring the two corners along the base of the triangle in toward each other, overlap them, and press to seal securely. Transfer to a parchment-lined sheet pan and refrigerate until ready to fry.
