Notes
- Use coconut oil for deep-frying. The result of the fried wonton will be much drier than the common vegetable oil.
- If you want to use pork, try to get pork shoulder so the filling is not too dry.
- Leeks and coriander stalks are optional. Some people like the fragrance of those two, some hate them.
- If you do not want to use any vegetables at all, try to adjust the seasonings to avoid it being too salty.
- When working with wonton wrappers, keep them covered with a damp cloth or plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out and cracking.
