Salmon Wontons - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (7 1/2 ounce) can salmon
1/4 cup shredded carrot
4 scallions, chopped
1/2 cup alfalfa sprout
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons grated fresh gingerroot
2 garlic cloves, crushed
about 30 wonton wrapper
oil, for deep-frying

Preparation

Clean bones and skin from salmon, if necessary. In a medium bowl, combine salmon, carrot, scallions, sprouts, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic, and toss together until crumbly.
Heat oil for deep-frying over medium to medium-high heat.
Moisten the edges of a wonton wrapper with a few drops of water, and drop about 1 teaspoon of the salmon filling on the center. Fold the wonton wrapper diagonally to make a triangle, and press down on the edges to seal. (Fill about 15 wontons at a time, keeping the unused wrappers covered to prevent them from drying out.)
Deep-fry in hot oil on one side; then flip over and fry on the other side until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
Drain on brown paper bags or paper towels, and serve hot with dipping sauce.
Dipping sauce: sweet-and-sour sauce, plum sauce, or a combination of 1 cup duck sauce, 1 to 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon hoisin sauce, and a dash of chili oil.
