Ingredients
- ½ lb ground beef
- ½ medium yellow onion, minced
- 24 count wonton wrappers
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp hot sauce (or sriracha)
- 2 cups neutral oil for frying
Instructions
- 1
Brown ground beef with minced onion in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up with a spoon, until no pink remains, about 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of cumin.
- 2
Whisk honey and hot sauce together in a small bowl until smooth. Set the dipping sauce aside.
- 3
Spoon 1 teaspoon of cooled beef mixture into the center of a wonton wrapper. Wet all four edges with water using your finger.

Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle, pressing edges firmly to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- 5
Heat oil in a heavy skillet to 350°F (or until a piece of wrapper sizzles immediately when dropped in). Working in batches, fry sambuса 60–90 seconds per side until deep golden and crispy.

Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with the hot honey dipping sauce on the side.
