Easy Wonton Pork Filling Recipes

WONTON RECIPE | HOMEMADE PORK WONTONS

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients except the wonton wrappers together and let rest for a few minutes for the flavors to meld.
• Place 1 teaspoon of the meat mixture on each wrapper and shape into a triangle.
• Press firmly on the sides of the triangle to seal, and then press around the meat filling to seal inside.
• Cover with damp paper towel and form all 48 wontons using all the wrappers in this fashion.
• When you're ready to cook the wontons, put 2 cups of water into a pan and place 6-8 wontons in at a time.
• When the water comes to a boil, add 1 cup of water to it and let it come to a boil.
• Add another cup of water and let this come to a boil. Once this second cup of water boils, the wonts are ready. Take them out very gently with a strainer and serve hot with some good quality soy sauce.
