Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

Wontons:

  • ½ pound boneless pork loin, coarsely chopped

  • 2 ounces peeled shrimp, finely chopped

  • 1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine

  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce

  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar

  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped green onions

  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh ginger root

  • 24 (3.5 inch square) wonton wrappers

Soup:

  • 3 cups chicken stock

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions

Directions

  1. Make the wontons: Mix pork, shrimp, rice wine, soy sauce, brown sugar, green onions, and ginger together in a large bowl until well combined. Let stand for 25 to 30 minutes.

  2. Spoon about 1 teaspoon filling onto the center of a wonton wrapper. Moisten all four wrapper edges with water and fold over filling to make a triangle; press the edges firmly to seal. Bring left and right corners together above filling; overlap the tips of these corners, moisten with water, and press together to seal. Repeat until all wrappers have been filled and sealed.

  3. Make the soup: Bring chicken stock to a rolling boil in a pot. Gently drop in wontons and cook for 5 minutes.

  4. Ladle into bowls and garnish with green onions.

To Fry Wontons:

Heat 2 to 3 cups oil in a wok until hot. Deep-fry wontons in batches in hot oil until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve with duck sauce (plum sauce) or any dipping sauce.

Recipe Tip

Uncooked wontons keep in the freezer for up to 2 months if they're wrapped well. Thaw them first if you're frying them, but if you're boiling them, drop frozen wontons into boiling broth and cook for 7 minutes.
