Ingredients

  • 10 g ginger, crushed
  • 10 g shallots, crushed
  • 500 g minced pork
  • 40 g salt
  • 2 g white pepper
  • Chinese cooking wine
  • 1 egg
  • 100 wonton wrappers
  • 2 litres stock
  • 15 ml sesame oil
  • 450 ml water

Instructions

Place the ginger and shallots in a bowl of water. Set aside for a few minutes to soak.

Place the pork in a bowl. Add the salt, white pepper, wine and egg. Gradually add the liquid from the ginger and shallots. Mix well.

Lay the wonton wrapper flat on your hand, place a teaspoon of pork mixture in the centre. Fold the skin in half diagonally, pressing the sides together. Continue with the remaining wonton wrappers and pork mixture.

Heat the stock in a saucepan. Seasoning with salt and pepper. Divide the sesame oil among serving bowls.

Bring a saucepan of water to the boil. Drop a handful of wontons in and stir once to prevent sticking. When cooked through, remove with a slotted spoon.
