Air Fryer Pork Wontons: A Scrumptious Delight by Diane

If you’re looking for a delicious and easy-to-make snack, look no further than these air fryer pork wontons created by Diane. Perfectly crispy on the outside and bursting with flavour on the inside, these wontons are a delightful treat that will impress your family and friends.

Ingredients:

For the filling:

• 500g ground pork
• 2 spring onions, finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste

For assembly:

• Wonton wrappers (typically found in the refrigerated section of your local supermarket)
• Water, for sealing

For serving:

• Soy sauce or sweet chili sauce for dipping

Method:

1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, spring onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. This mixture should be flavourful and have a nice balance of seasoning.

2. Assemble the Wontons: Take a wonton wrapper and place about a teaspoon of the pork filling in the centre. Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper to help seal it. Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle, then press the edges firmly to seal. For a decorative touch, you can fold the two ends of the triangle together and pinch to secure, forming a classic wonton shape. Repeat this process until all the filling is used.

3. Preheat Your Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F). While the fryer is warming up, you can prepare the wontons for cooking.

4. Air Fry the Wontons: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with a cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the wontons in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded — you may need to do this in batches. Lightly spray the tops of the wontons with cooking spray.

5. Cook to Perfection: Air fry the wontons for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Halfway through the cooking time, shake the basket to ensure even crisping.

6. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, remove the wontons from the air fryer and serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce. These crispy morsels are perfect for snacking, entertaining, or as a delightful appetiser to whet the appetite.

Tips for Success:

• Wonton Wrappers: If you cannot find wonton wrappers, you can also use dumpling wrappers, although they may require slightly longer cooking times.
• Freezing: These wontons freeze beautifully. To freeze, lay them out on a baking tray until firm, then transfer them to a zip-top bag. Cook them from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to the cooking time.
• Variations: Feel free to experiment with the filling! Adding finely chopped vegetables, such as carrots or mushrooms, can provide additional texture and flavour.
