Recipe Summary Mom's Wonton
I recently learned to make homemade won tons from my mother. They can be deep fried as an appetizer, but I prefer them in a rich, homemade chicken broth with baby bok choy or other leafy greens. Extras will freeze well for later enjoyment.Ingredients | Wonton Soup Stockton Ca½ pound ground pork¾ pound cooked shrimp, shelled, deveined and coarsely chopped2 tablespoons minced green onions1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root2 tablespoons chopped water chestnuts1 teaspoon cornstarch¼ teaspoon garlic salt1 pinch white sugar1 tablespoon dry sherry1 teaspoon chili oil1 tablespoon soy sauce¼ teaspoon sesame oil1 (16 ounce) package wonton skins1 pinch garlic salt1 egg whiteDirectionsIn a large skillet, cook the ground pork over medium heat until no longer pink.In a large mixing bowl, combine the shrimp, ground pork, green onions, ginger, and water chestnuts. Mix in the cornstarch, garlic salt, and sugar. Mix in the dry sherry, chili oil, soy sauce, and sesame oil.Place about one teaspoon of the mixture in the center of each won ton wrapper. Bring points of the wrapper together (in a triangular shape) and pinch the edges, sealing them closed with egg whites.Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to boil. Carefully place won tons into boiling water without crowding. (Work in batches if necessary.) When the wontons float to the surface, add a cup of cold water and allow the water to come to a boil again. Then remove from the boiling water.Info | Wonton Soup Stockton Caprep: 40 mins cook: 20 mins total: 1 hr Servings: 6 Yield: 52 wontons
