Pinsec Frito or Crispy Fried Wantons is a Chinese dish, although the name sounds more like of Spanish origin. This is easy to make and very easy to do. You will only take more time in the mincing of the onions, carrots and green onions, but after that, everything is as easy as 1 2 and 3..

All you will need is a kilo of ground pork, 1 and 1/2 cup carrots, minced. You will also need 4 tablespoons of sesame oil and 1 and 1/2 cup onion, also minced. A piece of raw egg, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, 2 packs wanton wrapper, 3/4 cup green onion, minced also, 1 and 1/2 cup crab meat, and of course and 1 1/2 cup cooking oil, or more, depending on your need.

For the cooking procedure, all you have to do is:

1. Combine ground pork, carrots, onion, sesame oil, salt, ground black pepper, green onion, crab meat, and egg then mix thoroughly.

2. Wrap the mixture in wanton wrapper.

3. Place a piece of wanton wrapper in a flat surface then scoop a teaspoon of the meat mixture and place it in the middle of the wanton wrapper.

4. Dip your finger in water and run it on the sides of the wanton wrapper.

5. Fold the wanton wrapper in a manner where one edge meets the opposite forming a triangle.

6. Gently press the sides to seal.

7. Heat the oil in a frying pan.

8. When the oil is hot enough, fry the wrapped wantons until the wrapper becomes crispy.

9. Remove from the frying pan and place in a plate with paper towel.

10. Serve with sweet and sour sauce or Dim Sum sauce.
