Homemade Pork and Shrimp Wonton Soup

Ingredients

1 tablespoon ginger, minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
250g minced pork
150g shrimp, peeled, deveined, and finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 package wonton wrappers (about 50 wrappers)
1.5 liters chicken or vegetable broth
2 green onions, thinly sliced
Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine minced pork, chopped shrimp, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, white pepper, cornstarch, and beaten egg. Mix well until thoroughly combined.

To wrap the wontons, place a teaspoon of filling in the center of a wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle, and press the edges firmly to seal. Bring the two opposite corners together, moisten with water, and press to seal, forming a classic wonton shape. Repeat until all wrappers are filled.

In a large pot, bring chicken or vegetable broth to a boil. Carefully add wontons, stirring gently to prevent sticking. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until wontons are cooked through and filling is cooked.

Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and fresh cilantro leaves.
Enjoy.
