Ingredients

• 300 grams Ground pork
• 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted chicken stock
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
• 30 sheets Wonton wrappers
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.25 cup Water
• 0.5 cup Cabbage, finely shredded
• 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
• 0.25 cup Carrot, finely shredded

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, unsalted chicken stock, minced garlic, grated ginger, green onions, shredded cabbage, shredded carrot, and white pepper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a cornstarch slurry. This will be used to seal the wontons.

Step 3

Place one wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the pork mixture onto the center of each wrapper.

Step 4

Using your finger or a small brush, apply a small amount of the cornstarch slurry along the edges of the wonton wrapper.

Step 5

Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal. You can further fold the ends to create a traditional wonton shape, ensuring the filling is secured.

Step 6

Repeat the process until all the filling is used.

Step 7

For cooking the wontons, bring a large pot of water to a gentle boil. Carefully add the wontons to the boiling water, cooking them in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Step 8

Cook the wontons for about 4-5 minutes or until they float to the top and the pork filling is cooked through.

Step 9

Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked wontons to a serving plate.

Step 10

Serve the wontons hot, with a side of low sodium soy dipping sauce if desired.
