Ingredients
1 package round wonton wrappers (60)
1 lb. ground pork
1 egg
3 tbsp. dark soy sauce
1 tbsp. chicken broth
1 tbsp. Chinese rice wine
1 scallion
1 tsp. chopped gingerroot
1/2 tsp. salt
Preparation
Step 1Remove the wonton wrappers from the package and cover with wet towels for 15 minutes before use.Step 2To make the filling: In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, egg, sesame oil, soy sauce, broth, rice wine, scallion, gingerroot, and salt.Step 3Place 1/2 teaspoon filling in the center of one wrapper. Moisten the edge of the wrapper with some water and fold over at the center. Gently press the edges together. Fold in half again lengthwise and then pull the corners one over the other and press them together with a little water. A properly wrapped wonton resembles a nurse’s cap. Repeat to make about 60 wontons.Step 4Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a deep pot or wok. Add the wontons to the boiling water and bring to a boil. Add 1 cup cold water and again bring to a boil. Repeat the process twice, each time adding 1 cup cold water and bringing the pot to a boil. When wontons float to the surface again, they are ready. Drain and serve.
