Mr. Kirk’s Won Tons

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound ground pork, finely chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1/2 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and finely chopped
• 1/4 cup bamboo shoots, drained and finely chopped
• 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup bean sprouts, finely chopped
• 1/2 egg, beaten
• 2 leaves bok choy, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon cooking sherry
• 1 (14 ounce) package wonton wrappers
• 2 quarts oil for frying

Directions

In a large bowl, mix the pork, salt, soy sauce, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, green onions, bean sprouts, egg, bok choy and sherry.

Place 1 teaspoon of the pork mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper. Fold the wrappers to the center forming a triangle. Gently press together the edges with moistened fingers. Fold in half again lengthwise, then fold back and bring together the corners. Press two corners together.

In a heavy skillet or wok, heat oil over high heat. Deep fry each wonton 2 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
