Memphis Wontons image

A mashup of Southern BBQ with an Asian twist. This was inspired by my time living in Memphis, where you can get the world's best meats cooked low and slow.

Time 25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 ounces cooked pulled pork, chopped
½ white onion, minced
1 (12 ounce) package wonton wrappers
2 quarts canola oil
1 cup barbeque sauce

Steps:

  • Mix pulled pork and onion together in a bowl.
  • Spoon pork mixture, about 1 teaspoon per wonton, onto the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten 2 of the 4 sides of each wrapper with water and fold wrapper over filling, forming a triangle. Press to seal.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) or until almost smoking.
  • Working in batches, fry wontons in the hot oil until golden brown, about 1 minute. Transfer cooked wontons to crumpled paper towels. Serve immediately with barbeque sauce.
