Fried Wonton

Fried wonton using the 'all eggs sang mein' dough does not remain crispy but they are fabulous in soup. If you are planning them to be an appetizer, eaten with chilly sauce, then i would suggest using these Wonton Wrappers.

Ingredients:

40–45 pieces wontonn wrappers

Enough oil for deep-frying

Place one teaspoon of the filling in the centre of each wonton wrapper.

Seal the edges of each wrapper with a bit of water
