Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz (350g) ground pork
- 6 blanched Chinese cabbage leaves
- 1 ½ quarts (1 ½ litres) chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon white sugar
- 4 oz (110g) finely chopped raw shelled shrimp
- 2 oz (55g) finely chopped bamboo shoots
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 thinly sliced green (spring) onions
- 1 lightly beaten egg white
- 1 ½ teaspoons Chinese rice wine
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 85 wonton wrappers
- Fresh dill and sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the shrimp and pork in a big bowl with the sugar, cornstarch, soy sauce, wine and pepper. Stir in the water, a tablespoon at a time. Stir in the green onions and the bamboo shoots and let the mixture sit for half an hour.
- Blend in the sesame oil, then add the egg yolk right before filling the wonton wrappers. Add a teaspoon of the pork mixture to the center of a wonton wrapper.
- Wet the wrapper edges and fold the the whole thing in half to make a triangle, pressing the edges together. Add some egg white on one tip and fold the others together, using more egg white to seal. Repeat with the other wontons.
- Heat the stock gently in one pan and bring water to a boil in another bigger one. When the water begins to boil, add the wontons, about 20 at a time. Each batch will take about 3 minutes to cook. Once the wontons are floating, they are ready to remove.
- Take them out carefully and put them into the stock. Keep going until all the wontons are cooked. Garnish with dill and sesame seeds, if you like.
