directions

  • Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
  • Add ground pork and brown until no longer pink.

  • Continue cooking 3 to 5 minutes.

  • Remove from heat, mix thoroughly and allow to cool slightly.
  • That is your filling for the wontons.
  • Place a small amount of water into a small bowl to use for sealing the wontons.
  • Place a tablespoon or more of the filling into the center of each wrapper.
  • Moisten edges with water, fold up corner of wrapper over the filling and press firmly to seal.

  • Gently wrap corners around filled part, moisten with water and gently pinch to seal.
