Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground meat, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce, green onions, and chopped kale leaves. Mix well and set aside.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, combine water and beaten egg. Whisk well, using a fork.
Step 3
Place a wonton wrapper on your hand. Add 1 teaspoon of the meat mixture to the center of the wonton wrapper. Dip a finger in the egg mixture and paint all edges with the egg mixture. Fold wonton wrapper in half, corner to opposite corner, to make a triangle. Seal tightly all around. Fold the longer two triangle points together and seal to make the wonton shape.
Step 4
In a wok, preheat 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) of cooking oil until bubble. Add a few wontons at a time. Fry, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown.
Step 5
Remove fried wontons from the wok. Place on the paper towel, so they can drain excess oil. Serve fried wontons hot or cold.
