Thai Fried Wonton Recipe (Kiew Tod)
This authentic Thai fried wonton recipe, kiew tod, is easy to make and delivers crispy wontons complete with homemade dipping sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 pack wonton wrappers
- just over 1 cup ground pork
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 coriander root
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
Instructions
- Pound garlic and coriander root with a mortar and pestle.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, pounded garlic and coriander root, light soy, white pepper, white sugar, and sesame oil. Knead well until everything is well mixed. Then, add freshly chopped green onions and gently mix one more time.
- Lay a wonton wrapper flat on your palm and place a teaspoon of the filling in the center. Moisten the edges with a dab of water – this acts like glue. Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle, and press to seal the edges tightly. Repeat until you’re out of filling.
- Heat oil in a pan around 350°F (about 175°C) and fry your wontons. Avoid overcrowding your pan. Fry them until each one is golden and crispy, turning occasionally. Make sure the filling is cooked, they’ll float to the top once ready. After frying, let them drain on paper towels before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use the nutrition card in this recipe as a guideline.
- Wonton wrappers: I used 35 wrappers, so you'll have more than enough with 1 package, and you can freeze the rest.
