Wontons in Under 30 Minutes
These wontons are quick, easy and delicious. Serve with a flavorful broth or dry with chili oil.
Ingredients
Wonton Filling
- 0.5 lb gio song or ground pork see recipe notes*
- 1 tbsp chopped green onion
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1/4 cup chopped, rehydrated black fungus or other variety of mushroom
- salt & pepper to taste
Other
- wonton wrappers see recipe notes**
- chicken broth or water + chicken bouillon for boiling
- chili oil optional, for serving
- green onions for garnish
Instructions
- If you haven't already, rehydrate your mushrooms and prep your ingredients
- In a medium-large bowl, mix your filling ingredients. Adjust to your tastes and pantry.
- After mixing your filling, add a pot of chicken broth (or water + chicken bouillon) to the stove to boil your wontons. This will come to boiling while you fill your wonton wrappers.
- Fill your wonton wrappers by adding between 1 - 1.5 tsp of filling to the center of a wrapper. Pinch the sides together at the top to create a little pouch, being careful not to let filling ooze out and sealing the top.
- Once all wontons are filled and your broth is boiling, add about half the wontons to the liquid and cook for approximately 7 minutes, until the meat is fully cooked through. Try not to overcrowd the pot so your wontons don't stick together!
- Remove the wontons and serve immediately. (see recipe notes***)
- Repeat with the remaining wontons. (see recipe notes****)
- Serve with soup or chili oil, garnish with green onions or other toppings, and enjoy!!
Notes
*Gio song is a Vietnamese pork patty mix, but you can use regular ground pork with some extra seasoning if you don't have it. I used approximately half of a 0.9lb container from the Vietnamese grocery store.
**According to my uncle, the double happiness brand of wonton wrappers is the best! It comes in a pack of 2.
***If not serving immediately, drizzle sesame oil and gently mix the wontons to prevent them from sticking together.
****I boiled by wontons in two batches, but depending on your pot size and number of wontons, you may need more or less batches.
