Pork Wontons
Description
The recipe starts with a mix of ground pork and aromatics including ground ginger, garlic powder, and chopped green onion. Seasonings such as salt, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and soy sauce are incorporated for a balanced flavor with umami, acidity, and aromatic notes. The filling is spooned onto square wonton wrappers which are moistened on the edges and folded into tight triangular shapes, then shaped further by folding in the bottom corners and sealing well to prevent filling leakage.
The wontons are cooked in boiling water in batches. When they float to the surface, they are fully cooked. Checking the filling once confirms doneness. Removing them carefully with a strainer avoids tearing. Serving them warm with a drizzle of soy sauce enhances the savoriness. The dumplings present delicate skins encasing juicy, flavorful pork.
This method allows making up to 40 small wontons which are suitable as appetizers or in soups. The careful folding technique ensures wontons hold their shape well while boiling. The combination of rice vinegar and sesame oil in the filling adds a subtle tang and nutty aroma that distinguishes these pork wontons.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 talks green onion chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 40 small square wonton wrappers
Instructions
- Add the pork, ginger powder, garlic powder, green onion, salt, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and soy sauce to a large bowl. Mix until the ingredients are combined.
- Place 1 teaspoon of the meat mixture in the middle of a wrapper.
- Dip your finger in a bowl of water and run it along the edges of the wonton wrapper. Fold the wrapper over the meat mixture to form a triangle. Seal the wet edges together.
- Fold the two bottom corners in and seal them with water pressing firmly.
- Cover with a damp paper towel and repeat the steps to form all 40 wontons.
- When you're ready to cook the wontons, put 6 cups of water into a pot and bring the water to a boil.
- When the water comes to a boil, place 6-8 wontons into the boiling water.
- When the wontons float to the top, the wontons should be cooked. You can check the inside of one of them to make sure the meat is fully cooked.
