Option 2: Pan-fry (crispy version)
- Heat 1–2 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Fry wontons 2 minutes per side until golden, then add 1/4 cup water and cover for 3–4 minutes to steam.

🔥 Tips for Maximum Flavor
- Use 50/50 beef + pork for juicier filling if desired
- Adjust chili paste to your heat tolerance
- Don’t overfill wrappers or they may burst while cooking
- Freeze uncooked wontons for up to 1 month
If you want, I can also give a super quick air fryer version that’s crispy in 10 minutes without oil splatters.
Do you want me to do that?
