Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 100 grams Ground pork
- 30 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Scallions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- as needed for sealing Water
Instructions
Chop the shrimp into small pieces and place them in a medium-sized bowl.
Add the ground pork, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, chopped scallions, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the shrimp.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
Take a wonton wrapper and place it on a clean surface. Put about 1 teaspoon of the shrimp filling in the center of the wrapper.
Moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with water using your finger.
Fold the wrapper over the filling, creating a triangle, and press the edges to seal.
Optionally, fold the two longer sides of the triangle together and pinch to seal, forming a traditional wonton shape.
Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Gently drop the wontons into the boiling water in batches.
Cook the wontons for 4-5 minutes, until they float to the surface and the filling is cooked through.
Remove the wontons with a slotted spoon and serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce.
