Pork and Shrimp Wontons Recipe (with Video)

Preparing the Filling
1. Chop your shrimp into small pieces and add to a large mixing bowl with your ground pork.
2. Then add garlic, ginger, scallions, white pepper, kosher salt, sugar, MSG, sesame oil, shaoxing wine, and light soy sauce.
3. Mix in one direction until the filling is combined and you can see streaks along the edge of your bowl.
4. Pick up the filling and throw it down a couple times (Da Xian) to create additional springiness and texture in the filling.
5. Fry a little bit of the filling to taste test and adjust seasoning to your preference if needed.
Making the Wontons
1. To make your wonton, place 1/2 tbsp of filling in the center of your wrapper.
2. Wet two adjacent sides of your wrapper with water, then fold over into a triangle and seal, making sure all air escapes from the inside of the wrapper.
3. Then wet the two long corners of your wonton and connect them together to form a tortellini-esque shape.
Cooking the Wontons
1. Cook for 3-4 minutes on a high simmer (medium high) until the dumplings float.
2. You do not want a rapid boil, otherwise the dumplings wrappers may break.
Serving the Wontons
1. Serve with chili oil, fresh scallions, and sesame seeds.
