Ingredients

8 ounce Ground raw chicken or pork
1/2 cup Shredded carrot
1/4 cup Finely chopped celery
1 tablespoon Soy sauce
1 tablespoon Dry sherry
2 teaspoon Cornstarch
2 teaspoon Grated gingerroot
1/2 package Wonton wrappers
2 tablespoon Margarine or butter; melted

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a large baking sheet.
2
In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook ground chicken or pork, stirring frequently, until no pink remains. Drain excess fat.
3
Stir in shredded carrot, chopped celery, soy sauce, dry sherry, cornstarch, and grated gingerroot. Mix well and remove from heat. Let the mixture cool slightly.
4
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean work surface. Spoon 1 rounded teaspoon of the filling into the center of the wrapper.
5
Lightly brush the edges of the wrapper with water to help it seal.
6
Bring two opposite corners of the wrapper up over the filling and pinch them together in the center.
7
Carefully bring the two remaining opposite corners to the center and pinch them together firmly to seal the wonton.
8
Place the sealed wonton on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
9
Brush the tops of the wontons with melted margarine or butter.
10
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until wontons are light brown and crisp.
