Ingredients

  • 2 cups cabbage kimchi, shredded, drained

  • 1 cup bean sprouts

  • 1/2 cup carrot, shredded

  • 3 1/2 teaspoons canola oil

  • 1/3 pound ground beef

  • 1/3 cup green onion, sliced

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 (12 ounce) package wonton wrappers

  • 1 egg, lightly beaten

  • 3 tablespoons water

Directions

  • Add 1 1/2 teaspoons canola oil to a large skillet and stir fry the kimchi, bean sprouts, and carrots until tender; set aside.

  • In a small skillet, brown the beef over medium heat and drain. Add this to the vegetable mixture. Mix in the onions, sesame seeds, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, salt, and pepper.

  • Add 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.

  • Mix the egg and water and use it to moisten the wonton edges; fold opposite corners over the filling and press to seal.

  • Heat the remaining canola oil in the large skillet. Cook the wontons a few at a time on each side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
