Does anyone have a recipe for wontons??

Thanks!

Here is an authentic Cantonese wonton recipe. Hope you like it.

<<<<<<<< Wonton broth >>>>>>> Yeild about 1.5 litre of soup

600g pork (or spare ribs or pig's bone)
1 whole chicken
80g Chinese ham (or Spanish ham)
50g dried scallops (soak in water over night)
3 dried dates
fresh ginger (about the size of your thumb, crushed)
20g dried Longans (you can buy it in Chinese grocery store)
1 dried squid (ditto)
150g fresh shrimps' heads (keep the shrimps meat for wonton filling)
3.5 liters of water

1) Pour hot water on Chinese harm to wash away dirt.
2) Clean dried squid with a wet towel, then roast it in the oven till fragrant, set aside
3) Heat a big pot of water, put pork in to boil for 3 minutes, drain and put under running tap water for a few minutes to wash away fat and blood.
3) Put chicken into the pot, boil for 5 minutes, drain and put under running tap water for a few minutes to wash away fat and blood.
4) Heat 3.5 liters in a big pot over high heat, put all ingredients into the boiling water, boil for 20 minutes (uncover), skimming the surface as required (the soup would be clear)
5) Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the pot and simmer for 3.5 hours or till the liquid reduce to about half.
6) Drain the meat, skim the oil from surface, keep soup in the pot and set aside.

Hint : you need a real big pot to have enough room for boiling all the ingredients with 3.5 liters of water.

<<<<<< Shrimps & Pork Wontons >>>>>>

600g fresh shrimps (shell and devein prawns, keep heads for soup base), chopped coarsely
200g minced pork (with 30% fat)
1 egg white, beat slightly
1.5 tablespoon cooking wine
2 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
a pinch of sea salt
1.5 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon of ground white pepper
1/2 teaspoon of ginger powder (you may use fresh ginger, minced)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
a pack of wonton wrappers
3 tablespoon of flour or cornstarch

1) Dry shrimps with kitchen towel, then mix pork, shrimps, 3/4 egg white and all seasoning in a bowl, combine well, marinate for 15 minutes
2) Sprinkle some flour or corn starch on a plate.
3) Place 1 heaping teaspoon filling in center of a wonton wrapper; keep remaining wrappers covered to prevent drying. Brush edges of wrapper with egg white and fold wrapper in half to form a triangle. Pinch edges to seal. Line it on the plate.
4) Continue to wrap wonton and sprinkle flour or cornstarch on wontons when you finishing wrapping the first row. Repeat till the filling is all wrapped.
5) Heat 1.5 liter of water in a pot, put 4 to 5 wontons in the boiling water, bring to boil, then add a bowl of cold water into the water, bring to boil again, repeat this step till the wontons are cooked. This cooking method can avoid over boiling the wonton wrappers (they can be broken or melted) and your wontons would look good.
6) Remove wontons from the pot, drain well and place in a big bowl. Refill cold water into the pot when water turned to be sticky. Continue to cook the remaining wontons - step 5.

<<<<<<<<< Wonton Soup >>>>>>>>

1 liter of wonton broth
1 tablespoon of sesame oil
sea salt to taste
green onion, finely chopped

1) Heat wonton broth, add salt to taste.
2) Put sesame oil and green onion in soup tureen then put wontons, pour over hot wonton soup. Serve immediately.

Hint:
I usually boil 1 wonton to taste the filling to see whether I need to adjust the taste, then go ahead to wrap all of them. When the wonton is cooked, it should like a goldfish with nice tail "swimming" in the soup. Here is a photo of a nice wonton.

I do not suggest you to boil any vegetables in the wonton broth because the broth would turn greenish in colour, if I want to serve wontons with vegetables, I would boil the vegetables in another pot of water.

I shredded the chicken meat (left over of the broth), mix with pepper, salt, mayo and lemon juice to fix chicken salad sandwich for the next day.
