Instructions

Step 1

Chop your shrimp into small pieces and add to a large mixing bowl with your ground pork, then add garlic, ginger, scallions, white pepper, kosher salt, sugar, MSG, sesame oil, shaoxing wine, and light soy sauce.

Step 2

Mix in one direction until the filling is combined and you can see streaks along the edge of your bowl. Pick up the filling and throw it down a couple times (Da Xian) to create additional springiness and texture in the filling.

Step 3

Fry a little bit of the filling to taste test and adjust seasoning to your preference if needed! I always do this before folding my wontons - there is nothing worse than spending the time to fold to find out the seasoning is off to your preference.

Step 4

To make your wonton, place 1/2 tbsp of filling in the center of your wrapper. Wet two adjacent sides of your wrapper with water, then fold over into a triangle and seal, making sure all air escapes from the inside of the wrapper. Then wet the two long corners of your wonton and connect them together to form a tortellini-esque shape.

Step 5

Cook for 3-4 minutes on a high simmer (medium high) until the dumplings float. You do not want a rapid boil, otherwise the dumplings wrappers may break.

Step 6

Serve with chili oil, fresh scallions, and sesame seeds!
