Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) ground pork
- ¼ cup (25g) chopped Chinese celery
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 package of wonton wrappers
- 2 tablespoons Hoisin Sauce
- ¼ cup (20g) chopped cilantro (fresh coriander leaves)
- 4 teaspoons soy sauce paste
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 chopped green onions
- 4 pints (2 liters) chicken, vegetable or seafood broth
Instructions
- Combine everything except the broth, wonton wrappers and green onions in a bowl and use chopsticks or a big fork to mix.
- Put a teaspoon of this mixture on each wonton wrapper.
- Roll the wonton wrappers up halfway then fold the two sides back and dab on some water.
- Lay the wontons on a baking sheet.
- Don’t forget to dust your wontons and the baking sheet with flour to keep them from sticking.
- If you aren’t going to use them right away, you can layer them in a freezer bag and freeze them for up to 2 months. If you want to keep them for 4 months store them in an airtight container.
- Heat a pot of broth on the stove.
- When it boils, turn the heat down to a simmer and add the green onions. Bring a pot of water to a boil and drop in 10 wontons and stir once with a wooden spoon so none stick to the bottom of the pan.
- When they float to the top, scoop them out of the broth and put them in the soup.
- Add 10 more wontons to the hot water and repeat until all the wontons are cooked and in the soup.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- Be careful when handling the wontons because they can break if you a) overfill them or b) don’t treat them carefully.
