Ingredients

• 250 g ground pork
• 100 g shrimp (peeled, deveined, and chopped)
• 30 pieces wonton wrappers
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp ginger (minced)
• 1 tsp garlic (minced)
• 2 stalks green onions (finely chopped)
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp white pepper
• 2 tbsp water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, chopped shrimp, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, minced ginger, minced garlic, chopped green onions, cornstarch, salt, and white pepper.

Step 2

Crack the egg into the bowl and mix everything together thoroughly until the filling is well combined and slightly sticky.

Step 3

Prepare a small bowl of water to use as a sealant.

Step 4

Take a wonton wrapper and place it in your palm. Scoop about 1 teaspoon of filling into the center of the wrapper.

Step 5

Lightly wet the edges of the wrapper using your finger dipped in water.

Step 6

Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal and ensure no air remains around the filling.

Step 7

Bring the two bottom corners of the triangle together, overlap slightly, and press to seal using a dab of water if needed. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 8

To cook the wontons, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Drop the wontons in, a few at a time, and cook for 4–5 minutes or until they float to the top and the filling is fully cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the cooked wontons with a slotted spoon and serve immediately in soup, with dipping sauce, or as desired.
