Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Combine pork, shrimp, green onion, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a bowl. Mix until just blended.

  2. Step 2

    Place 1 tsp filling in the center of a wonton wrapper. Wet edges with water, fold in half, then bring corners together.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 2 cups oil in a large pot or wok to 350°F (a wooden spoon handle should bubble steadily).

  4. Step 4

    Fry wontons in batches, 2–3 minutes per batch, until golden brown. Don't crowd the pot.

  5. Step 5

    Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  6. Step 6

    Whisk sweet chili sauce with lime juice. Serve wontons warm with dipping sauce.
