Lay the wontons on a well-floured surface.
Put a tablespoon of the filling in the middle of each wonton.
We the outer edges of the wonton and lightly brush the edges of the wonton with water to make it sticky so it will stay closed. Pinch one side of the wonton, then the opposite side, then for the last fold, pull the middle part of the other side of the wonton towards the center and pinch closed. See the photos in the post for a visual.
Heat the oil in a large skillet on medium high heat. Make sure that the oil is approximately ¾ inch to 1 inch high.
When the oil is hot (do not add the wontons unless the oil sizzles when you add a pinch of dough to test), carefully add the wontons in batches making sure that they do not touch each other.
Turn the wontons after about 2 minutes in the oil or until golden brown in color. Do the same with the second side then remove and place on a paper-towel lined plate.
Repeat the above instructions until all the wontons are fried.
