Ingredients

• 250 grams ground pork
• 150 grams raw shrimp, finely chopped
• 3 stalks green onions, finely sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon white pepper
• 40 pieces won ton wrappers
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 liter water
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (for serving)
• 1 tablespoon vinegar (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped shrimp, green onions, minced garlic, soy sauce (1.5 tablespoons), sesame oil, grated ginger, salt, and white pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a uniform filling.

Step 2

Place one won ton wrapper on a clean surface and scoop about 1 teaspoon of the filling into the center of the wrapper.

Step 3

Dip your finger into the beaten egg and lightly brush the edges of the wrapper.

Step 4

Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges together to seal. Ensure there are no air pockets around the filling.

Step 5

Bring the two bottom corners together, overlap slightly, and press firmly to seal. Repeat this process with the remaining won ton wrappers and filling.

Step 6

In a large pot, bring 1 liter of water to a gentle boil.

Step 7

Carefully drop the won tons into the boiling water in small batches, ensuring they do not overcrowd the pot.

Step 8

Cook the won tons for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface and the filling is fully cooked.

Step 9

Use a slotted spoon to remove the won tons and transfer them to a serving dish.

Step 10

Serve hot with soy sauce and a splash of vinegar (optional) for dipping, or add them to soups for a heartier meal.
