Pork and Vegetable Wontons

I thought I had one last cooking session with Noah, but apparently, I made a mistake, and my last session with him was last week, not yesterday. But I had already purchased everything and had it all ready, so I still made everything that he and were going to make, and it was dinner for Larry and I.

One of the things I made to go with the sushi was some pork and vegetable wontons with a spicy dipping sauce. I also made a quick tomato and cucumber salad. Janet and Bob had quite a banner crop this year and gave me a ton of tomatoes. I traded some wontons for my tomatoes. This is just half of what they gave me. I gave the other half to Lauren and Mike, but I digress.

Back to the wontons.

Pork Wontons with Spicy Dipping Sauce

We had some pulled pork in the freezer that I used, then added some shredded Napa cabbage, red bell pepper, jalapeno, ginger, garlic, black garlic and ginger oil, pickled onions and cilantro. I didn’t measure anything. I just diced everything into small pieces and added small bits of each and mixed it all up as my filling for my wontons.

As usual, I have quite a bit left over, so I am sure I will turn it into something else that is equally delicious at some point. Into the freezer it goes until I decide what else to make . 🙂

I added about 1 tsp of filling to each wonton wrapper. Before folding them, I coated the edges with some water to help seal the wonton wrappers, and then pinched them together. I may have filled them a little too full, so some of them didn’t want to stay sealed. 🙂

Once I had enough made, I put them in the fridge before deep frying them.

Spicy Dipping Sauce

1/3 cup soy sauce

1/3 cup rice vinegar

1-2 TBSP black garlic and ginger oil, optional

1 tsp crunchy garlic shilies in sauce

1 TBSP chili crisp or sambal sauce,chopped fine

Mix everything together well and set aside until ready to use.

As usual, we dined on our beloved deck, surrounded by the nature in our own backyard. 🙂

Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
