KONA K'S GROUND BEEF WONTONS

Steps:

• Combine ground beef, napa cabbage, garlic, ginger and green onions in large bowl. Using your (clean) hands, combine all ingredients well.
• In another small bowl, mix the sesame oil, soy sauce, and salt and pepper.
• Pour the sesame oil mixture into the ground beef mixture, and mix well.
• Place a small amount of beef mixture (around 1 TB) in middle of wonton wrapper. Dip your finger into water, and trace around half the edge of the wonton wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half and use your fingers to crimp the edge shut. Make sure you don't put in too much mixture, or the wontons will explode.
• To cook -- if the wontons are fresh, steam for approximately 5-10 minutes (or until the inside is cooked thoroughly). If they are frozen, they will need to steam for about 5 minutes longer.

GROUND BEEF WONTONS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large pan, add olive oil and sauté chopped onions and celery until translucent. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
• Add ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until browned and cooked through.
• Line a mesh colander with paper towels and drain beef mixture for about 5 to 10 minutes to remove excess oil. This also allows the filling to cool prior to wrapping.
• Prepare your work station with a small bowl of cold water, wonton wrappers, and a tray for the finished wontons.
• Put a wonton wrapper on your work surface and place a heaping teaspoon of the meat mixture in the center of a wonton wrapper.
• Dip your finger in the water and moisten two adjoining edges of the wonton.
• Fold dry edges over meat mixture and seal with moistened edges, pressing firmly and sealing the triangular-shaped wonton closed. (When sealing, try and minimize the amount of excess air inside the wonton. Air will cause the wonton to "puff up" when fried.)
• Repeat with more wontons until all of the mixture is used.
• Heat canola oil in a medium pot on medium-high. The ideal frying temperature is about 375 F. If you do not have a thermometer, test the oil with a small piece of uncooked wonton wrapper and if the wrapper quickly bubbles and floats to the top, then the oil is ready.
• Fry no more than 4 wontons at a time so as not to crowd the pot. It only takes about 30 to 40 seconds on each side to fry the wontons to a golden color.
• Remove wontons from oil and drain on paper towels.
• Once wontons have cooled slightly, serve, with or without a dipping sauce.

BEEF AND SAUSAGE FRIED WONTONS

Steps:

• Beat the egg white and water together in a small bowl; set aside. Lightly mix the ground beef, sausage, 1 tablespoon sweet chile sauce, five-spice powder, garlic powder, green onion, and salt and pepper. Place about 1 teaspoonful of the meat mixture onto a wonton wrapper with one corner facing you. Fold in the left and right corners of the wrapper to slightly overlap the filling, then tightly roll the lower corner up to create a pocket around the filling. Continue rolling until just the tip of the remaining corner is visible; brush the corner with the egg white mixture to seal.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Fry the egg rolls in the hot oil in batches until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve with 1/2 cup of sweet chili sauce.
