Description

Tender pork wontons, delicately spiced and wrapped. Served over flavorful egg noodles for a satisfying meal.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 oz (100 g) minced pork
  • 1 small knob (peeled and grated) ginger
  • 1/4 stalk (finely chopped) spring onion
  • 1/2 tsp all-purpose soy sauce
  • 1/3 tsp sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/2 bunch (finely chopped) bok choy
  • 35-40 sheets wonton wrappers
  • Hong Kong Style Egg noodles
  • Soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Combine minced pork, ginger, spring onion, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a bowl; mix well. Add 1 tablespoon of cold water to loosen the mixture. Season with salt and pepper and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Just before wrapping wontons, add the bok choy.
  3. Place 1/2 teaspoon of minced pork filling into the center of each wonton wrapper. Wet the edges with water, fold in half to make a triangle, and pinch the tips together to form a crown. Repeat until all filling is used.
  4. Boil a large pot of water and add the wontons. Stir gently. Once boiling, add 250 ml (8 fl oz / 1 cup) of cold water and simmer until wontons float to the top. Drain and set aside.
  5. Boil water in a medium pot and add noodles; cook according to package directions. Drain well, then toss with 2 tablespoons soy sauce and a dash of sesame oil.
  6. Place noodles in a bowl and top with wontons. Serve with extra soy sauce or chili sauce.

Notes

  • For richer flavor, marinate the pork mixture for up to 2 hours.
  • To prevent sticking, lightly dust your work surface with cornstarch when wrapping wontons.
  • Leftover wontons can be frozen for up to 3 months; reheat in boiling water until heated through.
