Pork baked Wontons with Sweet Chili Sauce

                   I didn't have a fryer nor enough oil to fry my wontons, so I decided to bake them instead. They still turned out pretty amazing, with shredded pork that was just nice and moist on the inside. Providing the crunchy texture of the baked Wonton crust just complimented each other really well. This is probably a more healthier alternative too since we're not frying the freaking thing. These are great for appetizers or when you're just hungry for some midnight munchies. I made these during lunch time so mine were pretty huge....alright lets get started


Ingredients
1. 1 cup of Shredded pork 
2. Cilantro
3. 1 tablespoon of minced ginger
4. 3 cloves of minced garlic
5. Salt and Pepper
6. 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
7. 1 teaspoon of sesame oil
8. 1 egg
9. 1/2 cup of flour







Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes

Directions

1. Beat your egg and combine your flour. Mold and knead until you created a usable dough. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes. Since there isn't that much dough being used, it doesnt take a long time to knead. Honestly if you have those wonton wrappers that are pre-made that will easily safe you 15 minutes prepping time but if you don't you can do this as well. Use a rolling pin and roll it out until the dough is nice and flat to your liking. 

2. Mince up your garlic and ginger. Chop up your cilantro and throw your ingredients along with your shredded pork. Add your wet ingredients to marinate the meat. 

3. Get a spoon and fill up your wonton wrappers with the pork mince. In this step it doesn't matter what the wonton looks like. As long as it holds the meat inside then you're perfectly fine. After wrapping, get a baking tray and set them in.

4. Set your oven to 350 degrees and let them bake. Until they reach a nice golden brown color take them out and then you're done! Since I was using already-cooked pork meat it was easier for me to make. If you're using raw pork mince, I suggest you bake them for at least 10 to 12 minutes at 325 degrees. Heres a tip, the smaller the wonton is filled, the faster it will cook. Since the pork is already minced up into tiny bits, it won't take long for it to cook so don't worry.

And here you go my lovely people, baked wontons which do not require a crap ton of whole and where you can easily make them with the limited amount of resources you can find at your home or apartment.
