  • To make the wontons ahead of time, assemble them and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 30 minutes, then transfer to a freezer bag and store for up to 2 months. When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the wontons for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve the wontons with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or chili sauce.
  • For a vegetarian version of the wontons, omit the ground pork and add extra vegetables, such as shredded carrots, cabbage, or bell peppers.
  • To make the wontons even more crispy, double-fry them. Fry them once at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, then let them cool slightly. Then, fry them again at 375°F (190°C) for 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
