Instructions
-
Sauté chopped onions and celery in olive oil until translucent, seasoning with salt and pepper.
-
Add ground beef, season again, and cook until browned and cooked through.
-
Drain the cooked beef mixture in a paper towel-lined colander for 5-10 minutes to remove excess oil and cool.
-
Place a heaping teaspoon of meat mixture onto a wonton wrapper, then moisten two adjoining edges with water.
-
Fold and firmly press the dry edges over the meat to seal the wrapper into a triangular shape.
-
Repeat filling and sealing wontons until all mixture is used.
-
Heat canola oil in a medium pot to 375 F, or until a test wrapper quickly bubbles and floats.
-
Fry wontons in batches (no more than 4 at a time) for 30-40 seconds per side until golden.
-
Remove fried wontons from oil and drain on paper towels.
-
Serve cooled wontons with or without dipping sauce.
