Ingredients

  • 200 g ground pork
  • 100 g shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp ginger, minced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 tsp white pepper
  • 20 wonton skins
  • 1 liter chicken broth
  • 3 slices ginger
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Salt to taste

Steps

  1. In a bowl, combine 250g ground pork, 100g shrimp, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon minced ginger, 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1/2 teaspoon white pepper. Mix well.

  2. Place a wonton skin in your palm and add about 1 teaspoon (5g) of the filling in the center.

  3. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water, fold the skin over to form a triangle, and press to seal tightly.

  4. Bring the two corners of the triangle together and pinch to seal, ensuring no air is trapped inside.

  5. In a pot, bring 1.5 liters of chicken broth to a gentle simmer at 85°C (185°F) over medium heat and add 3 slices of ginger.

  6. Carefully drop the wontons into the simmering broth and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they float and are cooked through.

  7. Once cooked, serve in bowls, garnishing with 2 tablespoons chopped green onions and a drizzle of 1 teaspoon sesame oil.

Why this works

The combination of pork and shrimp provides umami flavor, while the clear chicken broth highlights the wontons' taste. Wrapping the filling in thin wonton skins ensures a tender texture that cooks quickly. Proper sealing is crucial; well-moistened edges pressed together firmly prevent breakage during cooking. If the filling seems dry, adding a splash of water or an extra teaspoon of sesame oil can enhance moisture. Maintaining a steady simmer at 85°C (185°F) is essential; vigorous boiling may cause the wontons to disintegrate. This careful attention to technique results in a balanced dish where each component complements the others.
