Ingredients
Scale
- 1lb (450g) ground pork
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 shredded whole Napa cabbage
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 package wonton wrappers
Instructions
- Combine the pork, cabbage, garlic and ginger in a large bowl.
- Mix the sesame oil and soy sauce together then add to the pork mixture
- Place a small pile of mixture into each wrapper and wet the edges with water to seal.
- Gather the edges and press until tightly closed, squeezing out any excess air, to ensure that ingredients do not escape.
- Steam the pork and ginger wontons for 5 to 10 minutes then serve immediately.
Notes
- Use a bamboo steamer to make these (you can pick one up from an Asian food store for a few dollars) or a metal one if you have it. Some people like to line the steamer with cabbage or lettuce leaves before adding the wontons on top to prevent sticking.
- I like pork and ginger wontons with peanut sauce. Pork and ginger wontons with Szechuan sauce are also good, if a little spicier!
