Ingredients

• 1 pound ground pork
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
• 1 whole egg
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon white pepper
• 40 sheets won ton wrappers
• 0.25 cup water
• 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced ginger, minced garlic, chopped green onions, egg, salt, and white pepper. Mix thoroughly until well-combined.

Step 2

Prepare a clean, flat workspace for assembling won tons and have the won ton wrappers and a small dish of water ready.

Step 3

Place one won ton wrapper on the workspace and spoon about 1 teaspoon of the pork mixture into the center of the wrapper.

Step 4

Dip your finger into the water and dampen the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle and press the edges tightly to seal, ensuring no air pockets remain.

Step 5

Optional: For a fancier shape, bring the two opposite corners of the triangle together and press to seal into a traditional won ton shape.

Step 6

Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and pork mixture until all won tons are formed.

Step 7

To cook, you can either boil, steam, or fry the won tons: - To boil: Bring a large pot of water to a gentle boil. Add the won tons in batches and cook for 3-4 minutes, until they float and the pork is cooked through. - To steam: Arrange won tons in a single layer in a steamer basket and steam for 7-8 minutes. - To fry: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry won tons in batches for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

Step 8

Serve warm with dipping sauce, such as soy sauce mixed with vinegar or chili oil, or add boiled won tons to soup.
