Ingredients

1 pack wonton wrappers

225 g ground pork

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon grated ginger

1 clove minced garlic

0.25 teaspoon white pepper

1 green onion finely chopped

pinch of salt

3 tablespoons chili oil with sediment

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons black vinegar

1 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 tablespoon chopped green onions

1 tablespoon hot water (optional)

Instructions

1. Combine ground pork, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, white pepper, green onion, and salt in a bowl. Mix thoroughly until sticky. Refrigerate while prepping wrappers and sauce.

2. In a separate bowl, combine chili oil, soy sauce, black vinegar, sugar, garlic, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Stir until sugar dissolves. Adjust heat and loosen with hot water if needed.

3. Place 1 teaspoon filling in each wrapper center. Moisten edges with water, fold into triangles, and seal well. Optionally, pinch the corners together to form a traditional wonton shape.

4. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add wontons in batches, stir gently, and cook for 3–4 minutes or until they float.

5. Remove wontons with a slotted spoon and place in a serving bowl. Drizzle generously with chili sauce and garnish with green onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

Always chill the filling for easier wrapping and firmer texture.

Do a taste test by boiling one wonton before assembling the rest—adjust seasoning if needed.

If freezing, place wontons in a single layer first, then transfer to a freezer bag to prevent sticking.
