FRIED WONTONS RECIPE

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix the ground pork, shrimp, soy sauce, sesame oil and white pepper together. Stir to combine well to form a sticky filling.
• To wrap the wontons, lay a piece of the wonton wrapper on your palm and add 1/2 tablespoon of the filling in the middle of the wrapper. (Use 1 teaspoon filling if you are a beginner.) Dip your index finger into the sealing water and trace it on the outer edges of the wonton wrapper.
• You can wrap the wontons three ways. To make a triangle, just fold it up to form a triangle. Pinch the edges to seal tight. To make them into the pretty shape (far left in the above picture), just pull the two corners of the triangle down so one overlaps the other, pinch and seal with water. To make them into Hong Kong style wonton (far right in the above picture), please watch my video at the top of this post.
• Heat up some oil for deep-frying. Once the oil is fully heated, deep fry the wontons until golden brown. Drain the excess oil with paper towels. Serve hot with Chinese sweet and sour sauce or Thai sweet chili sauce.

EASY WONTON SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat a medium or large stock pot on the stove over medium heat.
• Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and the minced ginger. Cook for about one minute. If using powdered ginger, add to the oil and cook for about fifteen seconds.
• Pour in the chicken broth and turn the heat to high. Bring the broth to a boil.
• Once the broth is boiling, add the frozen wontons. Let the broth return to a boil and cook the wontons for 1-2 minutes. (If using regular-sized wontons rather than mini wontons, your cook time may be longer).
• Ladle into bowls and serve with a sprinkling of chopped green onions if desired.

SIMPLE WONTON SOUP

Steps:

• Start by thoroughly washing the vegetables. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and blanch the vegetables just until wilted, about 60-90 seconds. Drain and rinse in cold water.
• Grab a good clump of veg and carefully squeeze out as much water as you can. Very finely chop the vegetables (you can also speed up the process by throwing them in the food processor). Repeat until all the vegetables are chopped.
• In a medium bowl, add the finely chopped vegetables, ground pork, 2 1/2 tablespoons sesame oil, pinch of white pepper, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1-2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine. Mix very thoroughly until the mixture is totally emulsified-almost like a paste.
• Now it's time to assemble! Fill a small bowl with water. Grab a wrapper and use your finger to moisten the edges of the wrapper. Add a little over a teaspoon of filling to the middle. Fold the wrapper in half and press the two sides together so you get a firm seal.
• Hold the bottom two corners of the little rectangle you just made (the side where the filling is) and bring the two corners together. You can use a bit of water to make sure they stick. And that's it!
• At this point, you can cook (boil) and taste a couple of wontons and adjust the seasoning of your filling to taste--you can always add a little more Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and/or white pepper to your liking.
• Once you're happy with the flavor of the filling, keep assembling until all the filling is gone. Place the wontons on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper, and make sure they are not touching (this will prevent sticking).
• If you'd like to freeze your wontons right away, you can cover the wontons with plastic wrap, put the baking sheet/plate into the freezer, and transfer them to freezer bags once they're frozen. They'll keep for a couple of months in the freezer, and be ready for wonton soup whenever you want it.
• To make the soup, heat your chicken stock to a simmer and add 2-3 teaspoons sesame oil and white pepper and salt to taste.
• Bring a separate pot of water to a boil. Carefully add the wontons one at a time to the pot. Pick up the pot and use a swirling, twisting motion to keep the pot moving and prevent the wontons from sticking to the bottom. If they do stick, don't worry, They should come free once they're cooked. Once they're floating, boil them for another 1-2 minutes. Take care not to overcook them - mushy wontons are a sin! Remove the wontons with a slotted spoon and put them in bowls.
• Pour the soup over the wontons and garnish with scallions. Serve!

You can brush a little bit of water onto the edges to help the wrappers seal and stay closed. Sprinkle a thin layer of flour on a large plate. Place the wontons on the plate as you finish forming them.
• Bring a pot of water (or broth) to a boil. Drop in the wontons in batches and cook until they float to the top, about 5 minutes.
