Ingredients
- 40-50 square wonton wrappers
- 1 lb. fresh ground pork
- 2 medium carrots, grated
- ⅛ cup green onions, finely chopped
- 4 cloves of garlic, finely minced
- 2 tsp. fresh ginger, finely minced or grated
- 3 tsp. crushed pepper flakes

Instructions
- Mix all ingredients (except oil and wonton wrappers) in a medium size bowl until well blended.
- Fill electric frying pan with 1½ inches of oil. Heat to 350 degrees. (You can use a pan on your stove top. Fill with the 1½ inches of oil and heat on medium)
- Place 1 tsp. of filling in the center of a wonton wrapper. Lightly brush edges of wonton wrapper with water. Fold wonton in half to form a triangle. Press edges together to seal thoroughly. Repeat until filling is gone.
- Place wontons in hot oil and cook on each side for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. (watch for splashing oil)
- Remove from oil and place on a baking sheet lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Place on a platter and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
