Ingredients

1/2 pound medium ground pork

1/2 pound shrimp, shelled, deveined and chopped

2 water chestnuts, minced

1 clove garlic, chopped

1 stalk green onion, chopped

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

2 teaspoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine or dry sherry

1 teaspoon granulated sugar

5 drops sesame oil

2 tsp cornstarch or tapioca starch

1/4 tsp salt

Freshly ground white pepper, to taste

1 package of wonton wrappers

Red Chilli Sauce:

2 little red chillis, seeded and chopped

Combine the pork mixture with oyster sauce, soy sauce, rice wine or sherry , sugar, sesame oil, salt and white pepper.

To fill the wontons, lay one won ton skin in front of you. (Cover the remaining won ton skins with a damp towel to keep them from drying out).

Moisten all the edges of the won ton wrapper with water. Place a heaping teaspoon of won ton filling in the center and twist to seal. The final result should resemble a money bag or drawstring purse.

Boiling the wontons:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the won tons and let the wontons boil for 5 - 8 minutes, until they rise to the top and the filling is cooked through. Remove from the pot with a slotted spoon.

Alternatively you can shallow fry the wontons until until golden brown.

Top over cooked wontons and enjoy!
