Wontons: how to




I used store bought wonton wrappers . . . . maybe next time I'll try make my own.


For the filling I mixed 1 lb. of ground pork (I did beef the next time and they were great also), ground ginger, pepper, salt and green onions.


Take one Wonton wrapper.


And put 1 tsp. of the pork mixture on the wrapper.  Then brush around the edges with egg white.


Don't use too much pork mixture or the wonton will burst.


Then you can fold them diagonally (you can also brush the edges and fold them in so it looks like a envelope).


Or you can place another wonton wrapper on top.  Either way, make sure no pork mixture squeezes out of the edges and that there is no air in the wonton.


Then place seven at a time in boiling water and boil them until they rise to the top.


Then they will look like this; Leslie says they look like brains :)


Then I served them with with chicken broth (with mushrooms and green onions).


She liked them :)


I liked them too!
