Ingredients

Shrimp and Pork Wonton Ingredients:

  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 pound shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1/4 pound ground pork
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 20 wonton wrappers

Spicy Sauce Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons chili oil
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Chinese Chinkiang black vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 green onion diced

Instructions

  • Make the sauce first by whisking together all ingredients. Let sit at room temperature until ready to use.
  • To make the wontons combine garlic, shrimp, pork, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger and salt in a food processor. Pulse until the shrimp and pork are minced fine and the mixture is mixed well.
  • To make a wonton, spoon a heaping teaspoon of the mixture into the center of the wonton wrapper. Dip a finger in a small bowl of water and run it along the outer edges of the wonton wrapper. Fold bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling and press all edges to close the wrapper, you’ll have a triangle. With the top of the triangle facing away from you, fold up the left and right corners. Press to seal. Repeat with remaining ingredients until you have about 20 wontons.
  • To freeze the dumplings simply place them in a single layer on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Place in the freezer until frozen. Once frozen transfer them to resealable plastic bags. You can boil them frozen but it might take a few minutes longer to cook.
  • Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add in wontons. Cook until the water starts to boil again. Add in a cup of cold water. Bring to a boil again and add one more cup of cold water. Once it starts boiling again, and the wontons are floating, they should be cooked through. Cut into one to test if unsure.
  • Use a slotted spoon to transfer the wontons to a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the top. Gently stir the wontons. Serve immediately.
