07

Step

Fold wrapper in half, corner to corner, to make a triangle and pinch the edges shut, crimping with your fingers to make a seal.

09

Step
2 mins

Fry wontons in the hot oil until 1 side is browned (1-2 minutes). Flip and cook until the other side is browned (1-2 minutes). Transfer wontons to a paper towel-lined plate to drain using a slotted spoon.

Step
0 mins

To make the dipping sauce: Whisk soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon sesame seeds together in a bowl until smooth.

11

Step
0 mins

Serve alongside wontons.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a touch of ginger or chili flakes to the beef filling.
Ensure the wonton wrappers are sealed tightly to prevent the filling from leaking during frying.
Adjust the amount of sesame seeds in the dipping sauce according to your preference.
Yaki Mandu are best served immediately while they are hot and crispy.
