Time 53m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ½ teaspoons vegetable oil
2 cups shredded cabbage
1 cup canned bean sprouts, drained
½ cup shredded carrots
⅓ pound ground beef
⅓ cup sliced green onions
1 egg, lightly beaten
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ teaspoons sesame oil
1 ½ teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 (16 ounce) package wonton wrappers
2 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add cabbage, bean sprouts, and carrots; saute until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer vegetable mixture to a large bowl.
  • Place beef in the same skillet; cook and stir until no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain beef into the bowl with the vegetable mixture. Add green onions, beaten egg, garlic, sesame oil, sesame seeds, salt, pepper, and ginger. Mix filling well.
  • Separate and place wonton wrappers onto a flat work surface. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the filling onto the center of each wrapper. Use your finger or a pastry brush to lightly moisten edges of wonton wrappers with water. Fold one corner of the wrapper over the filling onto the opposite corner to form a triangle. Press edges together to seal wontons.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place wontons in the hot oil; fry until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side.

Tips:

  • Wonton Wrappers: For the best results, use fresh wonton wrappers. If you're using frozen wrappers, thaw them completely before using.
  • Filling: Make sure the filling is well-mixed and seasoned before adding it to the wontons.
  • Folding: There are many different ways to fold wontons. The most common method is the triangle fold. To do this, place a spoonful of filling in the center of a wonton wrapper. Fold the bottom corner up to the top corner, then fold the left and right corners in towards the center. Finally, fold the top corner down over the filling to seal the wonton.
  • Cooking: Wontons can be cooked in boiling water, steamed, or fried. If you're boiling them, bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the wontons. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the top. If you're steaming them, place the wontons in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water. Steam for 5-7 minutes, or until they are cooked through. If you're frying them, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the wontons. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serving: Wontons can be served as an appetizer or a main course. They can be served with a dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, vinegar, or chili sauce. They can also be added to soups and stews.

Conclusion:

Korean wontons are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you're serving them as an appetizer, a main course, or a soup addition, Korean wontons are sure to be a hit.
