Ingredients

  • 1 carrot shredded
  • ¼ green cabbage chopped
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil
  • ½ pound ground pork
  • 2 garlic minced
  • 2 inches ginger minced
  • ½ teaspoon 5 spice
  • ¼ teaspoon white pepper
  • 1.5 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 10 wontons skins cut in triangles

For garnish:

  • green onions
  • cilantro

Instructions

  • Grate carrots and set aside.
  • Slice cabbage in thin slices. Set aside.
  • Heat a pan on medium heat. Once hot, add some oil, ginger and garlic. Saute for one minute.
  • Then, add your ground pork, salt, 5 spice, and white pepper. Mix everything together and ensure there are no large clumps.
  • Fry ground pork for 5 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Add cabbage and soy sauce. Mix together and saute for 3 minutes until cabbage is wilted but not soggy (still has some crunch).
  • Add shredded carrots and sesame oil. Turn off heat and garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro.
  • To make your wonton chips, cut the wontons in triangles and place on a baking tray with a light layer of oil and sprinkle of salt. Bake (or air fry) for 4 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit or until golden with a light spray of oil.

Notes

Expert Tips

    • Bake wonton chips until just golden (3-4 minutes). Keep an eye on them as the wonton skins bake quickly and can burn fast.
    • Cook the carrots last and cook for less than a minute. Since they are shredded, they cook super quickly and we want to keep their structural integrity.
    • Make sure you take the time to brown the meat, which renders the fat. Cooking the cabbage in the fat tastes extra delicious.
