Dr. Ni's Fried Wonton

Seafood Essential 300 g (could be replaced by minced pork for pork wonton)
Smoked Ham 4 slices
Chinese Mushrooms
One pack of wonton pastry (get from Chinese or Asian grocer's stores) or find a recipe such as this one.
1 egg
Some parsley (for side dish)
1 tsp Soya Sauce
1 tsp corn flour
0.5 tsp sugar
0.5 tsp salt
2 tbsp oil
White pepper

Method:

Keep the egg white for sticking up pastries.

Cut smoked ham, Chinese mushroom (softened in water) and seafood essential into dices; then marinate the mushroom and seafood with seasonings for 30 minutes. After that, stir with ham then put into fridge for 1 hour. (This is the stuffing)

Take a piece of Wonton Pastry, put in about 1 teaspoon stuffing; and then fold up like a little pocket using the egg white to stick up the edge.

Prepare oil, and then deep fry the wonton. Put finished wonton on kitchen paper to absorb extra oil.

Garnish with Parsley and serve.
