"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Ingredients:  
FILLING:
1 pound ground beef or pork
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 green onion, minced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika

OTHER:
Won ton wrappers
Oil for frying
Directions:
Directions:
Mix the filling ingredients. Keeping the won ton wrappers covered with a damp kitchen towel, place 1 won ton wrapper at a time on a work surface with 1 point toward you. Spoon a scant teaspoon of filling in the center, just above the point. Fold the corner over the filling and roll to tuck the point under. (The won ton should look like a triangle). Pinch the wrapper around the filling to completely enclose, pushing gently to expel any air bubbles. Using both hands, pull the 2 side corners toward you below the filling. Overlap the corners slightly, moisten with a dab of water, and pinch to seal. Place the filled won tons on a baking sheet and cover with a damp cloth while preparing the remaining won tons. (If desired won tons can be frozen on a baking sheet and once frozen, kept in a ziplock bag for up to 2 months.) Fill a large pot or electric fryer halfway with vegetable oil and heat to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the won tons in batches and fry until golden on both sides, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot Sweet and Sour Dipping Sauce.
