| Pork Cream Cheese Wontons |
It is nearing the holiday seasons and I was having a sort of
“blog block” with coming up with some ideas for posts. My coworker and friend
gave me the idea to come up with some appetizer ideas that could be perfect for
holiday entertaining. So here goes. I attempted my first ever wonton recipe. I
thought why not do a pork and cream cheese stuffed wonton and add a couple of
easy dipping sauces. This was really
easy and had so many flavors that I am sure if you give it a try your holiday
party will be a blast with such good appetizers. Pork and Cream Cheese Wontons
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground pork
- Small bundle green onion
- 2 packages of cream cheese softened
- 1 tsp Chinese 5 spice powder
- ½ tbs garlic powder
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Wonton wrappers
- Dipping sauce of choice, (I chose a combination of soy and sweet and sour sauce as well as soy and mango chutney).
1.
Brown pork in large sauté pan until cooked
through.
2.
Combine chopped green onion, cream cheese, and
drained ground pork in a large mixing bowl.
3.
Sprinkle in the Chinese 5 spice powder, garlic
powder, and lemon juice. Mix well until smooth and combined.
4.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
5.
Spray a baking pan with cooking spray.
6.
Place a small dollop of filling into center of
each wonton wrapper.
7.
Fold over either into little pockets or diamond
shapes.
8.
Lay on baking dish and spray the tops with some
cooking spray.
9.
Bake for 10 minutes until golden brown.
I combined in one dish some soy and sweet and sour sauce. I
also combined in another dipping dish some soy and mango chutney. I preferred
the mango chutney, but whatever works for you. The flavors in the wontons were
fantastic. The pork, the cheese, the hint of 5 spice powder and the onion went
so well together along with dipping them into the two sauces. The flavors were
fantastic and will definitely be a hit at your next holiday party.
