What are you putting in the wontons?
It would make a difference what kind of sauce or dip you make for them.

I'm pretty sure than isn't traditional. LOL!

Are you looking for the filling or a sauce to serve with the Won Tons?

I make a pork filled wonton and serve it in a spicy chili sauce.

I serve these as an appetizer/dim sum.

Shrimp dip for wontons

Sapphires, I don't know how this would do in Wontons, but it is without a doubt the BEST shrimp dip I have ever had, bar none. On chips, crackers, spread on bread, or eat it with a spoon out of the bowl. ;>) My Favorite Shrimp Dip 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened 1 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup onion, chopped very fine 1/4 cup celery, chopped very fine 1/2 pound (or a little more) cooked and peeled shrimp, chopped quite small. Pinch of ground white pepper (Grandson likes to use some Tony Cachere's Seasoning instead of the white pepper) Directions In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese and mayonnaise. Mix in onion, celery and shrimp meat. A mixer works good for this. Cover bowl, and hide it in the frig to keep self from eating it all before it has a chance to be served to guests. This is very easy and forgiving. Amounts of celery, onion and shrimp don't have to be exact. In fact, I've found a little more than called for is good. I've never made it with crab, but I think that would be very good, too. Rusty

Stacie - instead of having pimiento cheese spread, why not have it as a hot dip? We loved this with Triscuits! BAKED PIMENTO CHEESE DIP 1-1/2 cups mayonnaise 1 (4 oz.) jar diced pimiento, drained 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp. finely grated onion 1/4 tsp. ground red pepper 1 (8 oz.) block extra-sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded 1 (8 oz.) block sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded Garnish: chopped parsley Stir together first 5 ingredients in a large bowl; stir in cheeses. Spoon mixture into a lightly greased 2-quart or 11- x 7-inch baking dish. Bake at 350Â° F. for 20 minutes or until dip is golden and bubbly. Garnish, if desired. Here's an egg roll recipe for you too: SHRIMP AND PORK EGG ROLLS 1/2 lb. ground pork 2 Tblsp. freshly grated ginger 1/4 tsp. salt 1 medium head of cabbage, finely shredded 5 or 6 green onions, chopped 3 or 4 large carrots, grated 3 or 4 stalks of celery chopped 1 cup of mushrooms chopped 1/2 lb. cooked salad shrimp 3 Tblsp. hoisin sauce 3 Tblsp. soy sauce 1/2 tsp. salt Egg roll wrappers Vegetable oil for frying Mandarin Orange Sauce, Thai Peanut Sauce, or another Asian sauce for dipping Brown the pork and add the 1/4 tsp. salt and fresh ginger for seasoning.

Stir in the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Place a mound of filling on the center of egg roll wrappers. Fold the left corner across the filling then roll the filing. Turn the top and bottom corners up and down respectively. Roll to wrap the egg roll into a tight cylinder. Cook the egg rolls in hot oil until the outsides are brown. BakerÂs note: These can be cooked in hot oil in a saucepan on the stovetop. Make sure that the oil is about two-inches deep and 350Â° to 375Â° F. If the first egg roll does not cook rapidly enough, turn the heat up. (Slowly cooked egg rolls will be greasy.)

Here we only get the fried won-tons with Hot and Sour Soup. I fried some won-tons at home and they didn't come close to being as good as the Chinese Restaurant here. I wonder if restaurants get a better quality won-ton than we can get in the grocery stores. Here's the Won-ton soup recipe I've used. Ginger Won-ton Soup 4 oz lean ground pork 1/2 cup reduced fat ricotta cheese 1/2 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/8 teaspoon Chinese 5-spice powder 20 Wonton wrappers 1 tsp oil 2/3 cup chopped red bell pepper 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger 4 cans chicken broth (homemade stock is better) 4 tsp soy sauce 4 oz fresh sugar snap peas 1 or 2 cans baby corn on cob, rinsed and drained 4 green onions sliced. Cook pork over medium high heat until no longer pink, cool slightly; stir in ricotta, cilantro, black pepper and 5 spice powder. Please 1 teaspoon in center of each wonton. Fold and seal edges with water. Cook in boiling water until they come to the top. Remove and set aside. Heat oil in large saucepan. Add bell pepper and ginger, cook 1 minute. Add chicken broth and soy sauce. Bring to a boil and add peas, corn and wontons. Simmer5 minutes. Pour into soup bowls over wontons and sprinkle with onions. Serves 4

Depends on the filling. I like sweet and sour sauce with my pork or shrimp wontons.

I was so hoping Ann would post! I love that filling. I couldn't find it even after looking. Don't know why I couldn't, but I couldn't. Best stuff ever!

This is my favorite won ton recipe. I like them fried as an appetizer.

Crispy Fried Won Tons
from Ã¢ÂÂMadame WongÃ¢ÂÂs Long Life Chinese CookbookÃ¢ÂÂ

1/2 lb ground pork
1/2 tsp salt
1 T soy sauce
1 T sherry
4 water chestnuts, finely chopped
1 scallion, finely chopped
1/2 egg, well beaten
2 leaves of bok choy, blanched and chopped fine (I leave this out)
Won ton wrappers
2-4 c oil for frying

Combine pork with salt, soy sauce, sherry, water chestnuts, scallion, egg and bok choy. Mix well.

Put 1 teaspoon of the pork filling in center of each won ton wrapper. Fold in half diagonally, then bring two corners together in front. Dab corners with a bit of water and press together.

Heat oil to 400F in wok. Deep fry in small batches for about 3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Serve with sweet and sour sauce and/or Chinese hot mustard.

Did someone say wonton? My secret addiction. Did you know you can put ANYTHING in a wonton and fry it and it is just wonderful? These are tried and true. The pork/shrimp filling can be boiled for soup, or fried. Either way is great. I suggest you fry a small amount of the mixture in a pan to taste test first to adjust seasoning. I was lucky enough to have a brother marry a Korean and a sister marry someone from Viet Nam.

Wonton Soup/Fried Wontons (follow part one only)

PART ONE:
(one pound ground turkey can be substituted)
one pound each shrimp and ground pork
6 tablespoons oyster sauce
3 tablespoons sesame oil
1 cup each finely chopped onion and mushrooms

PART TWO: (put this in the bottom of each soup bowl)
fresh cilantro chopped (one pinch)
fresh scallions finely chopped (one pinch)
sesame oil (2-3 drops)
pepper to taste

Mix part one together and put one teaspoon size into a very thin wonton wrapper until all meat is wrapped. You can fry these in oil and serve as fried wontons.

For soup put part two into the bottom of soup bowls. Bring chicken stock to a boil in one pot. Boil the wontons in water in a second pot. Ladle out wontons into bowl after you drain them, ladle chicken stock over them. (if you boil the wontons in the soup stock, the soup stock turns cloudy) Enjoy.

Dipping Sauces:
Vietnamese Sauce
1/2 cup fish oil
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup white vinegar
Shaved carrots
Soy Sauce
1/2 cup soy sauce
Chopped cilantro
Chopped green onion

Canola oil, for frying
8 tablespoons cream cheese
3 tablespoons ricotta cheese
2 1/2 tablespoons powdered sugar (1 1/2 for mix, 1 tablespoon for garnish)
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
10 thick egg roll skins
1 cup raspberries, fresh preferred
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Heat 1-inch of canola oil in large saute pan, to 325 degrees. In a bowl mix the cream cheese, ricotta, and 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar with a whip, until thoroughly blended.

Beat egg and milk together. Place 1 1/2 tablespoons of cheese mix in center back of egg roll skin and place 4 to 6 raspberries in the center of cheese mixture.

Brush egg wash around edges of skin, fold left and right sides of skin in 1/2-inch, and then roll from back to front, insuring that the roll is sealed.

Place in oil and cook both sides until golden brown. Let drain on paper towels for 2 to 3 minutes. Dust with cinnamon and sugar. Serve with whipped cream and raspberries, if desired. Makes 5 servings

Sorry about the post above. There are two different dipping sauces, one is Vietnamese, the other is Soy Sauce. I neglected to make a break in between the two.
