Ingredients
 

  • 1 pack wonton wrappers
  • 1 lb ground pork, or protein of choice
  • 1 tbsp grated ginger
  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1/4 tsp white pepper powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 egg white
  • 3 scallions, finely chopped (about ¼ cup)
  • 2 tbsp oil, heated

Sauce:

  • 1 tbsp grated garlic
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Chinese black vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp dumpling water
  • 2 tbsp chili oil

Instructions
 

  1. In a bowl, combine ground pork, ginger, soy sauce, white pepper, salt, egg white, scallions, and heated oil. Mix until well combined.
  2. Place a wonton wrapper in your hand and add 1 teaspoon of filling to the center. Lightly wet the edges with water, fold in half to form a rectangle, then dab one corner with water and fold the opposite corner over to seal.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix all the chili sauce ingredients until well combined.
  4. For fresh wontons, cook in boiling water over high heat for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they float.
  5. For frozen wontons, add them to boiling water, return to a boil, then add ½ cup cold water. Once it comes to a boil again, they’re done.
  6. Transfer wontons to a serving bowl, spoon the chili sauce over the top, garnish with scallions, and enjoy.
