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

Method

  • 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.
