Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon ground white pepper
• ¾ cup water
• 1 pound ground pork
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
• 3 green onions, chopped
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 100 (3.5 inch square) wonton wrappers
• 3 teaspoons salt, divided
• ½ cup diced mushrooms
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken stock
• 5 slices fresh ginger
• 3 tablespoons Chinese rice wine, divided
• 40 shrimps, minced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mash green onion and ginger in a bowl with water. Mix in pork, 2 tablespoons rice wine, soy sauce, 2 teaspoons salt, sesame oil, and white pepper.

Step 2

Combine shrimp, 1 tablespoon rice wine, 1 teaspoon salt, mushrooms, and celery in a bowl. Add to the pork mixture; stir until filling is well combined.

Step 3

Separate and place wonton wrappers onto your work surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the pork-shrimp filling onto the center of each wrapper. Use your finger or a pastry brush to lightly moisten edges of wonton wrappers with water. Fold one corner of the wrapper over the filling onto the opposite corner to form a triangle. Press edges together to seal.

Step 4

Bring the chicken stock to a rolling boil. Add wontons and cook until they float to the top, about 5 minutes.
