Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Servings 4 8-10 wontons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 1 tbsp minced ginger
  • 1 tbsp garlic minced or to your liking.
  • 2 stalks green onion chopped.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 40 small square wonton wrappers
  • For the Sauce
  • 3 tbsp coconut aminos or 3 tbsp light soy sauce + 1-2 tsp sugar
  • 1.5 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp aged balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1-2 tsp garlic chili sauce optional

Instructions
 

  • Add the pork, ginger powder, garlic powder, green onion, salt, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and soy sauce to a large bowl. Mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Place 1 teaspoon of the meat mixture in the middle of a wrapper.
  • Dip your finger in a bowl of water and run it along the edges of the wonton wrapper. Fold the wrapper over the meat mixture to form a triangle. Seal the wet edges together.
  • Fold the two bottom corners in and seal them with water pressing firmly.
  • Cover with a damp paper towel and repeat the steps to form all 40 wontons.
  • When you're ready to cook the wontons, put 6 cups of water into a pot and bring the water to a boil.
  • When the water comes to a boil, place 6-8 wontons into the boiling water.
  • When the wontons float to the top, the wontons should be cooked. You can check the inside of one of them to make sure the meat is fully cooked.
  • Take them out gently with a strainer and serve them hot with a drizzle of soy sauce.
  • Repeat the cooking process with the rest of the wontons until they're all cooked.
  • For the sauce
  • In a measuring cup or a small bowl, combine and stir well the ingredients from coconut aminos (or soy sauce) to garlic chili sauce. Taste and adjust to your own liking.
