Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2-3 servings)

  • Wonton Wrappers 18-20 sheets
  • Shrimp (peeled) 180g
  • Ground Pork 60g
  • Finely chopped green onions 10cm
  • Grated ginger 1 clove
  • Potato Starch 1/2 tbsp

Seasonings

  • [A] Sesame oil 1 tbsp
  • [A] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
  • [A] Soy Sauce 1 tbsp
  • [A] Salt a pinch
  • [B] Coarsely chopped green onions 5cm
  • [B] Finely chopped scallions 2-3 stalks
  • [B] Minced ginger 1 tbsp
  • [B] Vinegar 1 tbsp
  • [B] Soy Sauce 2 tbsp
  • Sesame oil for sauce 2 tbsp

Steps

  1. In a bowl, combine coarsely chopped green onions (5cm), finely chopped scallions (2-3 stalks), and minced ginger (1 tbsp).
  2. Add vinegar (1 tbsp) and soy sauce (2 tbsp) to the bowl from step 1 and mix to create the aromatic sauce.
  3. Finely chop green onions (10cm). [Tip!] Using a fork makes chopping easier.
  4. Spread peeled shrimp (180g) on a cutting board and mash them with a spatula. [Tip!] Chopping the shrimp while preserving some of its fibers will maintain a plump texture.
  5. Roughly chop the mashed shrimp.
  6. Add the chopped shrimp, ground pork (60g), chopped green onions, and grated ginger (1 clove) to a bowl.
  7. Add soy sauce (1 tbsp), cooking sake (rice wine) (1 tbsp), sesame oil (1 tbsp), potato starch (1/2 tbsp), and salt (a pinch) to the bowl from step 6, and mix well. [Tip!] Start by mixing like you're gripping to combine, then use your fingers like a shovel to mix for better integration.
  8. Take wonton wrappers (18-20 sheets) out of the refrigerator and bring them to room temperature. [Tip!] Keeping them in the bag softens the wrappers and makes them easier to fold. Cover the wrappers with a damp paper towel to prevent them from drying out.
  9. Place a small amount of filling (don't overfill) horizontally on the wonton wrapper. Gather the pleats from the top point and seal with the 'single-point fold' method. [Tip!] The 'single-point fold' is recommended for boiled wontons as it prevents the filling from leaking and offers a smooth texture.
  10. Prepare serving plates or a sieve for arranging the wontons before boiling.
  11. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Gently place the wontons into the pot, using a sieve or by lightly dipping them in the water first. [Tip!] To prevent the wrappers from sticking to the bottom of the pot, lightly dip them with a sieve before starting to boil.
  12. Boil until the wontons float to the surface and the wrappers become translucent.
  13. Drain the boiled wontons briefly in a small sieve and arrange them on a serving dish.
  14. Generously ladle the prepared aromatic sauce over the arranged wontons.
  15. Heat sesame oil for sauce (2 tbsp) in a frying pan and pour it over the wontons with the sauce. [Tip!] You can add chili oil to your preference.
