Cooking Steps
Wash and dry produce.
Peel and mince or grate ginger. Trim and thinly slice scallions.
In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 2 TBSP water.
In a large bowl, combine pork*, ginger, scallions, garlic powder, soy sauce, sesame oil, ¼ tsp salt, and pepper.
Working in batches, lay wonton wrappers on a clean work surface. Fill the center of each wrapper with about 1½ tsp filling. Use your finger to brush a thin layer of cornstarch mixture over the wrapper’s edges. Fold each wonton into a triangle, bringing the bottom tip to meet the top, pressing firmly around the filling to remove any air pockets, then sealing. TIP: Cover filled wontons and remaining wrappers with damp paper towels to prevent them from drying out.
Heat a ⅓-inch layer of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once oil is hot enough that a drop of cornstarch mixture sizzles, carefully add wontons in an even layer. (Avoid crowding the pan.) Fry wontons, turning as they brown, until crispy and pork is cooked through, 3-5 minutes. (Lower heat if wontons begin to brown too quickly.)
Transfer wontons to a paper-towel-lined plate. (If using a thermometer, check the temperature once wontons have been transferred to a plate.)
Ground Pork is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.
Serve wontons with sweet Thai chili sauce on the side for dipping.

Reviews from our home cooks
These were a lot more detailed to cook than I expected, but the taste was amazing when they were done. I added some minced garlic and the mix with the large chunk of ginger that I minced was just spot on. The sweet thai chili sauce had a nice strong bite to it that I really liked.
These were okay. A little more soy sauce than we like, and the chili in the chili sauce was much stronger than any we've ever had. It was quite off-putting. They were easy to assemble and the wrappers fried beautifully.
These were so stinking good I could eat these all day! The only change I would make is to include a recipe for gyoza dipping sauce instead of thai chili sauce but the core recipe is perfection
Time consuming, needs lots ginger for any flavor but I enjoyed this. Sweet chili sauce makes it so much better
Only gave it 3/4 because this was more time intensive than I expected. It may have helped if there was a recipe cards sent - I got steps 4-10 for a different meal. I had no idea how to prep the ginger. The flavors were great! A tad spicier than expected, but not offensively so.
Frying is really messy, but nothing you can do about that. I appreciated how many wontons we could make from what was provided - thanks!
So much fun. The flavor was unbelievable. We are still talking about it. We can't believe we made them. Please keep offering this appetizer.
These were time consuming. But they are delicious. There is enough to take to a party for an appetizer. I would buy again.
Fun to make! Delicious!!!! Couldn't stop eating them!!!! Ground ginger is easier!
This would be perfect for a small group get-together or pot-luck. Hope it will still be available in the future.
