directions

  • Combine the pork, scallions, cornstarch, garlic, hoisin sauce, 1 tsp of the sesame oil, and the soy sauce in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Arrange 6 wonton wrappers on a work surface. Place half a teaspoon of the pork mixture in the center of each wrapper. Moisten the edge of each wonton wrapper with water and pull one of the top corners diagonally over the filling to make a triangle. Press the edges firmly to seal. Bring left and right corners together above the filling. Overlap the tips of these corners, moisten with water, and press togither. Place completed wontons on baking sheet lightly covered with cornstarch and cover with damp paper towels. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers, making a total of 40 wontons.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the wontons, 20 at a time, to the pot; return to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook until the wontons float to the top, about 1 minute. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain; toss the wontons with the remaining 1 teaspoon seasame oil to keep them from sticking together.

  1. Wonderful. I used one pound of ground pork instead of the tenderloin and also included both teaspoons of sesame oil in the mixture. Added salt and pepper to the mix and 70 wontons were born. Thanks for great recipe.
     
  2. These were very good - not my version of simple (I'm just getting into cooking) but they were very tasty. A great healthy alternative - my boyfriend is very very sick of chicken breast since I've been trying to cook healthy.
     
  3. Very tasty! I used the full-fat ground pork from my butcher, and I pan-fried them with a tablespoon of oil after boiling them to make them a little crispy. I am a big fan of spicy foods, so next time I will add some sriracha sauce in the mix
     
  4. This is a simple, quick and easy weeknight dinner and we thoroughly enjoyed it! As I was serving this with a strongly flavoured Szechuan sauce I left out the hoisin as the flavours would have clashed. I love making wontons and thought this recipe was excellent - thanks for posting!
     
  5. OMG these are so good! I made one batch on one day and then another early this morning to freeze, I used my Kitchen Aid grinder attachment to grind the meat, the changes I made was I did increased the garlic and green onions and hoisin slightly and added in some cayenne pepper. I love this recipe and I will be making this many time again, thanks for sharing Mo-B!...Kitten:)
