Ingredients

• 250 grams Ground pork
• 40 pieces Wonton wrappers
• 2 stalks Scallions (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (for greasing the steamer)
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Chili oil (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, scallions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the filling is evenly seasoned.

Step 2

Prepare a clean workspace and set out the wonton wrappers. Keep a small bowl of water nearby for sealing the edges.

Step 3

Place a wonton wrapper flat on your workspace. Add about 1 teaspoon of the filling to the center of the wrapper.

Step 4

Dip your fingertip into the water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a triangle or a square, pressing out any air bubbles and sealing the edges firmly.

Step 5

Optional: Pinch the two ends of the triangle together to create a classic wonton shape.

Step 6

Repeat this process with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling, keeping the completed wontons covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.

Step 7

Lightly grease a bamboo or metal steamer with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Arrange the wontons in the steamer, leaving a bit of space between each to allow steam to circulate.

Step 9

Fill a pot or wok with water, ensuring the water level stays below the steamer. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 10

Place the steamer over the boiling water and cover with the lid. Steam the wontons for about 8-10 minutes, or until the pork is fully cooked.

Step 11

While the wontons steam, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili oil (if using) in a small bowl.

Step 12

Serve the steamed wontons hot with the dipping sauce on the side and enjoy!
