Description

Barbeque pulled pork is deep fried in wonton wrappers in this mashup of Southern bbq with an Asian-inspired twist.

Ingredients

8 ounces cooked pulled pork, chopped
1/2 white onion, minced
1 (12 ounce) package wonton wrappers
2 quarts canola oil
1 cup barbeque sauce

Directions

1 Mix pulled pork and onion together in a bowl.
2 Spoon pork mixture, about 1 teaspoon per wonton, onto the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten 2 of the 4 sides of each wrapper with water and fold wrapper over filling, forming a triangle. Press to seal.
3 Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) or until almost smoking.
4 Working in batches, fry wontons in the hot oil until golden brown, about 1 minute. Transfer cooked wontons to crumpled paper towels. Serve immediately with barbeque sauce.
