Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 pack of wonton wrappers
- 1/2 lb ground pork
- 1/2 cup chopped scallions
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Special equipment needed:
- Deep fryer or large pot
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
- Slotted spoon
Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, chopped scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
2. Place a spoonful of the pork mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle and press the edges to seal.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot over medium-high heat. Fry the wontons in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the wontons from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
4. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together honey, dijon mustard, and mayonnaise to make the honey mustard sauce.
5. Serve the pangsit goreng with the honey mustard sauce on the side.
