FILLING

SEASONINGS

To make the filling: In a large bowl, combine all the chopped ingredients and seasonings. Mix thoroughly, set aside. To assemble the wonton: Place 1 teaspoon of filling just below the center of each wrapper, fold bottom over the filling. Roll up the filled cylinder leaving ½ inch of wrap unrolled at the top. Fold both sides down under the cylinder. Pinch ends firmly together with the beaten egg.

As each wonton is finished, place it on a plate and cover with a moistened towel. To cook: In a wok or large pot, bring 3 quarts of water to a boil and drop in wontons. Return to boil and reduce heat.

Simmer 5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold running water to stop cooking. Drain well. Serve with dipping sauce or soup. For Fried Wontons: Do not boil. Deep fry 3-5 minutes. May be frozen. Defrost and reheat in 375 degree oven for 15 minutes.
