Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Start by sifting 2 cups of all-purpose flour into a large mixing bowl. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and give it a quick stir to combine. Make a well in the center of the flour.
- Crack 1 large egg directly into the well. Add 1/3 cup of warm water gradually while using a fork or your fingers to slowly bring the flour into the liquid.
- Once it starts forming a rough ball, switch to using your hands. Press and fold the dough until no dry flour remains. Add water if too stiff, or flour if too sticky.
Kneading
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Resting
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap or cover with a damp towel and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
Rolling Out
- Dust your work surface with cornstarch. Divide the dough into 4 portions, rolling each out as thin as possible to about 1mm thickness.
- Cut the rolled dough into 3x3 inch squares, dusting with cornstarch between layers.
Making the Filling
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, soy sauce, sesame oil, oyster sauce, garlic, ginger, green onions, white pepper, and cornstarch.
- Mix until sticky and cohesive, cover, and chill for 15 minutes.
Folding Wontons
- Place 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of a wrapper. Moisten edges with water and fold to seal.
Cooking
- Boil, pan-fry, or deep-fry the wontons according to your preference.
Notes
Tips: Roll thin, don’t overfill, seal properly, and freeze extras for future use.
