Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Ground pork
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 30 pieces Wonton wrappers
- as needed for sealing wrappers Water
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
- 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth (optional, for serving)
- to taste Chili oil or soy sauce (optional, for dipping)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, finely chopped green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, cornstarch, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the filling is well-combined.
Set up a clean workstation with the wonton wrappers, a small bowl of water, and the pork filling.
Take one wonton wrapper and place it on a flat surface. Add about 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper.
Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Fold it in half diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal tightly.
Take the two opposite corners of the triangle, bring them together, and overlap to form a traditional wonton shape. Dab water to seal the corners together. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat a large pot of water with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil and bring it to a gentle boil. Add the wontons in small batches, ensuring they do not stick together. Cook for 4-6 minutes, or until the wontons float to the surface and the filling is cooked through.
For serving, you can either transfer the cooked wontons to a warm bowl of chicken or vegetable broth for wonton soup or serve them on a plate with dipping sauces like chili oil or soy sauce.
Enjoy your homemade Chinese wontons fresh and hot!
