1 tbsp. Sugar
2 tbsp. Vinegar
0.5 oz. Minced Green Onion

1 tbsp. White Sesame
2 tbsp. Chili Oil
1 tsp. White Pepper to taste
1 pack Wonton wrappers

Directions:

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, shrimp and the rest of ingredient for filling. Blend well and set aside.

Step 2

Place about one teaspoon of the filling at the center of each wonton wrapper.

Step 3

Moisten all 4 edges of the wonton wrapper with water, then pull the top corner down to the bottom, folding the wrapper over the filling to make a triangle. Press edges firmly to make a seal. Bring left and right corners together above the filling. Overlap the tips of these corners, moisten with water and press together. Continue until all wrappers are used.

Step 4

In a skillet at high heat, add 1 tbsp cooking oil and minced garlic, 1 tsp Chef John’s Signature Sesame Oil, saute till fragrant.

Step 5

Pour this garlic mixture at the bottom of a serving bowl. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, vinegar, green onion, white sesame, white pepper and about ½ cup hot chicken broth. Set aside.

Step 6

To cook wonton: bring enough water to boil, carefully drop in wonton pieces, slowly and gently stir to prevent wonton stick to the bottom.

Step 7

Continually add small amount of cold water to avoid wonton wrapper breaking and to keep them more chewier. Wonton is done when it floats in boiling water.

Step 8

Take wonton pieces out, place them on top of serving bowl.

Step 9

Add 1 Tbsp Chef John’s Signature Chili Oil.
