Total Calories: 900

1 package wonton wrappers
FILLING
3/4 pound ground pork
2 tablespoons finely chopped ham or prosciutto
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped scallion
2 teaspoons finely chopped ginger
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon sugar
1 small bowl filled with water to moisten wrappers
2 cups oils for deep frying

Directions: Combine all the filling ingredients in a bowl and stir to mix together well.

Take one won ton wrapper and place it on a working surface in a diamond shape - in other words with the corners up, down, left and right. Place 1 teaspoon of filling in the middle of the won ton skin. Press the skin around the filling to seal it in.

Moisten your fingers and wet the bottom corner, then fold the top corner over so that it meets the bottom corner. Press down to seal. Then moisten the left corner and bring it over to meet the right corner. Press to seal. Moisten the edges and pinch them closed. A properly made won ton is commonly described as resembling a nurse's cap.

Deep-frying: Heat the deep fryer and add oil. Add the won tons, a few at a time, sliding them in carefully. Deep-fry the won tons in batches until they are golden brown, turning to make sure they brown evenly. Drain on paper towels or a tempura rack if you have one on the wok. As with egg rolls, won tons should be served as soon as possible to ensure they remain crispy. Serve with Sweet and Sour sauce.

Variations:
*You can substitute other meat, such as chicken or ground veal.
**For the filling, add a few fresh water chestnuts, peeled and thinly sliced
