Method
In a mixing bowl, combine the minced pork, chopped prawns, spring onions, light soy sauce, sesame oil and white pepper, mixing until sticky.
Place a teaspoon of filling in the centre of each wonton wrapper, dab the edges with water, and fold into a triangle, then pinch the two bottom corners together.
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok to 170°C.
Fry the wontons in batches for four to five minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crisp and the filling reaches 71°C on a meat thermometer.
Drain on kitchen paper and serve hot with sweet chilli sauce for dipping.
