== Description ==
Contributed by Catsrecipes Y-Group
* Serves 4 
== Ingredients ==
* ½ lb ground pork
* 2 oz peeled shrimp, finely chopped
* 1 tsp brown sugar
* 1 tbsp chinese rice wine
* 1 tbsp light soy sauce
* 1 tbsp chopped green onion
* 1 tsp chopped fresh ginger root
* 24 wonton wrappers
* 3 cups chicken stock
* 1 garlic clove minced
== Directions ==
# In a large bowl, mix the pork and shrimp with the sugar, wine or sherry, soy sauce, scallions, and ginger.
# Blend well and leave to stand for 25-30 minutes.
# Place about one teaspoon of the filling at the center of each wonton skin.
# Moisten all 4 edges of wonton wrapper with water and pull the top corner down to the bottom, folding the wrapper over the filling to make a triangle.
# Press edges firmly to make a seal.
# Bring left and right corners together above the filling.
# Overlap the tips of these corners, moisten with water and press together.
# Place completed wrapper on the cornstarch platter and continue until all wrappers are used.
=== Soup ===
# Bring the chicken stock to a rolling boil.
# Drop wontons in and cook for 5 minutes.
# Garnish with chopped scallions and serve. (Note: uncooked wontons will keep in freezer for a good 2 months if well wrapped. Thaw before frying, but they can be boiled straight from frozen and cooked 2 minutes longer).
=== To fry ===
# Heat 2 to 3 cups of oil in a wok until hot.
# Deep-fry wontons in batches until golden, 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
# Drain.
# Serve with dipping sauce or duck sauce, also called plum sauce.
== Notes ==
Wontons also freeze well. Just place on cornstarch covered cookie sheet and freeze. Place in Ziploc when frozen. Take out what is needed when making the soup.
