Pork Dumpling Wonton Chips are the crispy, snackable appetizer you did not know you needed until now. These are deep fried wonton wrappers stuffed with a juicy, savory pork filling and fried until golden and crunchy. Think of them as giant wonton chips that are perfect for dipping. Dunk them into sweet chili sauce and it is instantly addictive.
If you love crab rangoons, you are going to love these, but for a different reason. They have that same crispy exterior and satisfying crunch, but the filling is hearty and meat forward instead of creamy. This makes them feel more filling and protein packed. You can definitely eat ten of these and feel slightly better about it.
These Pork Dumpling Wonton Chips also give strong fried ravioli energy. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and built for dipping. The pork filling stays flavorful and tender while the wonton wrapper fries up light and crisp. It is the kind of appetizer that disappears fast.
What really makes these stand out is the texture contrast. The crunchy wonton shell shatters when you bite into it, while the pork filling stays juicy and well seasoned. Sweet chili sauce adds the perfect balance of sweetness and heat without overpowering the filling. Every bite is crunchy, savory, and crave worthy.
One of the best parts about these Pork Dumpling Wonton Chips is how easy they are to wrap. There is no fancy pleating, pinching, or stressing like you would with traditional dumplings. You simply place the filling in the center and glue two wonton skins directly onto each other. It is quick, forgiving, and perfect even if you are not confident in your dumpling skills.
These wonton chips are perfect for parties, game days, or when you want a fun appetizer that feels a little extra. They are easy to prep ahead and fry just before serving. Serve them hot and watch them disappear. Making a double batch is highly recommended.
Substitutions and Variations
Ground chicken or turkey can be used instead of pork for a lighter option while still keeping the filling juicy. If you want more heat, add chili crisp or chili oil to the pork mixture. Sweet chili sauce can be swapped with chili garlic sauce or a soy based dipping sauce for a more savory option. You can air fry them lightly brushed with oil, but deep frying will give the crispiest, most chip like texture.
The fat content of your ground meat will directly affect how juicy the filling turns out. Higher fat ground pork creates a richer, more flavorful center, while leaner options will still work but result in a slightly firmer texture. This recipe is flexible, so feel free to swap the ground meat based on your preference or what you have on hand. Just keep in mind that a little extra fat goes a long way in keeping the filling juicy and satisfying.

minutesIngredients
1 pack 1 wonton wrappers
1 1 egg
neutral frying oil (vegetable, canola, etc.)
sweet chili sauce
- Pork Filling
1 lb 1 ground pork (80% lean)
1 tbsp 1 oyster sauce
1 tbsp 1 soy sauce
1 tsp 1 sesame oil
1/2 tsp 1/2 white pepper
1/2 tbsp 1/2 shaoxing wine
1.5 tsp 1.5 chicken boullion
1/4 cup 1/4 sliced green onions
1/2 tbsp 1/2 grated ginger
Directions
- Combine all pork filling ingredients in a mixing bowl. Do not over mix.
- Beat an egg in a small bowl. Add 1 tbsp of pork filling to the center of the wonton skin, flatten out leaving space for the egg wash glue on the border. Glue another wonton skin on top and make sure there’s no air bubbles inside. Repeat until you run out of pork filling. One pound of ground pork should make around 20 wonton chips.
- Preheat frying oil in a pot or deep pan to 350F degrees on medium heat. Carefully drop in the wonton chips and do not over crowd the pot. Flip and fry until golden brown which should take around 3-4 minutes for each wonton chip.
- Serve with sweet chili sauce and enjoy!
