Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups warm water
- 0.25 cups cornstarch (for dusting)
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 2 stalks green onions (finely chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoons white pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
Gradually add the warm water while stirring with a wooden spoon or chopsticks until the dough begins to come together.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
While the dough is resting, prepare the filling by combining ground pork, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, green onions, and white pepper in a large bowl. Mix well and set aside.
After resting, divide the dough into four portions. Roll each portion into a thin sheet (about 1/16-inch thick) on a lightly floured surface.
Cut the dough into 3x3-inch squares. Dust each square lightly with cornstarch to prevent sticking. Repeat with the remaining dough portions.
To fill the wonton wrappers, take a square and place 1 teaspoon of the pork filling in the center.
Dampen the edges of the wrapper with water, fold diagonally to form a triangle, and press to seal tightly around the filling.
If desired, bring the two bottom corners of the triangle together and pinch to create the classic wonton shape.
Repeat the filling and shaping process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Cook the wontons by boiling in water for 4-5 minutes (until they float), steaming for 8 minutes, or deep frying at 350°F until golden brown (about 3-4 minutes).
Serve wontons immediately with your desired dipping sauce or in soup.
