Pork and Peanut Wontons with Plum Sauce (Wanton Goreng) Recipes
Ingredients :
175g minced (ground) pork, or the contents
of 175g fresh pork sausages
2 spring onions (scallions), finely
chopped
2 tbsp peanut butter
2 tsp oyster sauce (optional)
salt and pepper
1 packet wonton skins
2 tbsp flour paste
vegetable oil, for deep frying
Plum Sauce
225g dark plum jam (jelly)
1 tbsp rice or white wine vinegar
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
1/2 tsp chili sauce
Method :
Combine the
minced (ground) pork, spring onions (scallions), peanut butter, oyster
sauce and seasoning and set aside. For the plum sauce, combine the plum
jam (jelly), vinegar, soy and chili sauces in a serving bowl and set
aside. To fill the wonton skins, place 8 wrappers at a time on a wok
surface, moisten the edges with the flour paste and place 1/2 tsp of the
pork mixture on each one. Fold in half, corner to corner, and twist.
Fill a wok or deep frying pan one third with vegetable oil and heat to
385F. Have ready a wire strainer or frying basket and a tray lined with
kitchen paper. Drop the wontons, 8 at a time, in the hot fat and fry
until golden, for about 1-2 minutes. Lift out onto the paper lined tray
and sprinkle with fine salt. Place the plum sauce on serving plate and
surround with the crispy wontons.
These crispy
filled wontons are delicious served with Egg Pancake Wrappers, a popular
salad dish of Indonesia. The wontons can be filled and set aside for 8
hours before cooking.
