Wontons

I learned this recipe from my Mother-in-law. She has all these Chinese recipes that are really good and she shared them with me. Lucky for you she is letting out all her secrets. These little wontons are very good. I find myself just wanting to eat these when we have Chinese night because they are so flavorful.

Ingredients:

1 lb. Ground chicken, pork, or beef

4 green onion, chopped

1 can water chestnuts drained and chopped fine

1 clove garlic chopped

1 egg

1 tbsp. Soy sauce

1 tbsp. cornstarch

1 pkg. Wonton skins

Directions:

Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Place 1 tsp. of mix in the corner of the skin. Wrap by the folding sides in and rolling to the edge. Wet the end with a dab of water to seal. Fry on medium low for a few minutes until golden brown. Keep warm in oven. One package of wontons gives you atleast 50 so it makes enough for one family. If you are making for a large crowd double or triple recipe.

Sweet N Sour sauce

1/2 cup sugar

1/3 cup vinegar

2/3 cup water

2 tbsp. cornstarch

4 tbsp. ketchup

Bring to boil sugar, vinegar, and water. Add cornstarch mixed with water to thicken. Stir until thick then add ketchup. You can add pineapple juice also for a little more sweetness. Let cool before serving.
