Crispy Wontons (pork fried wontons)
Wonton mixture:
1. Combine pork, water chestnuts, green onions, soy sauce, starch, salt and ginger in a mixing bowl, mix well. Place 1/2 teaspoonful of pork mixture in center of each wonton skin. Fold wonton skin over filling to form a triangle.
2. Heat oil in wok or large saucepan over medium-high heat to 375 degrees F. Deep fry wontons, a few at a time, 2 to 3 minutes, or until brown and crispy. Drain on a plate lined with paper towel. Serve warm with Japanese hot mustard and soy sauce or sweet and sour sauce, as desired.
Sweet and sour sauce:
1. Heat a medium saucepan over high heat and add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the ginger and garlic. Stir-fry just until fragrant, and then add the juice, vinegar, brown sugar and soy sauce. Bring to a boil and cook until the sugar has dissolved. Stir in the cornstarch and water mixture and bring to a boil until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute. Set aside for dipping.
Enjoy!

STEP BY STEP
Avoid any soy sauce product that has Hydrolyzed Vegetable Proteins or Hydrolyzed Soy in the ingredients.
Some of the products have Sodium Benzoate as a preservative. This is not necessarily a bad thing. It’s classified as “Generally Recognized As Safe” (GRAS), meaning that experts consider it safe when used as intended.
Here are the results of an independent study
The 9 most popular bottles of soy sauce that we ordered and the process by which we tested them. (https://my-best.net/13479)
Hydrolyzed vegetable proteins (HVPs) are applied worldwide for flavoring meat products at a level of 0.2–4.0 g per 1 kg of meat product. The main sources for HVP are soy, maize, or gluten, and soy is the preferred source for meat-flavored HVPs.
Honjozo Soy Sauces had a Strong Savoriness to Them, while Kongo Had More Nuanced, Layered Flavors
Hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) has received wide attention as a flavor enhancer that can replace monosodium glutamate (MSG). The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of added acid-hydrolyzed vegetable protein (aHVP) and enzyme-hydrolyzed vegetable protein (eHVP) on consumers’ responses of Korean Doenjang soup. One hundred and twenty female consumers who consume Doenjang soup on a regular basis participated in consumer test of 8 Doenjang soup samples containing a flavor enhancer such as aHVP, eHVP, or MSG. The results indicated that the HVPs showed flavor-enhancing effects similar to those of MSG, respectively. It was also found that consumers preferred specific aHVP- or eHVP-added samples to MSG-added samples. These findings suggest that HVP could be used as a flavor enhancer in Doenjang products such as Doenjang soup.
Soy sauce and other HVP’s produced via aicd hydrolysis process might contain carcinogen and 3-Chloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD), a carcinogenic, nephrotoxic, and reproductively toxic agent. This 3-MCPD is produced due to prolonged heating of chloride ions from hydrochloric acid with glycerol, lecithin, and other glycerides. Generally this process is done a atmospheric pressure, which require higher temperature to break down the proteins, another contributor factor is concentration of hydrochloric acid which is generally 4-9 M.
