PORK AND SHRIMP WON TONS
A steaming bowl of won tons is welcome in any season, and making them at home is a fairly easy process. Purchase a package of high-quality won ton skins, which are available everywhere, and then it's just a matter of filling and folding them. Once they hit boiling water they cook for just 2 minutes. The filling - usually a simple mixture of well-seasoned minced meat - may be prepared hours ahead and chilled. This somewhat spicy pork and shrimp filling is particularly delicious, with plenty of ginger and Chinese garlic chives.

Steps:
- Put pork and shrimp in a chilled mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix briefly with chopsticks, wet hands or wooden spoons. Add rice wine, soy sauce, sugar, ginger, garlic, bean paste, serrano chiles and garlic chives. Mix well to incorporate. Pan-fry a small flat patty in a small amount of oil to check seasoning; taste and adjust. Transfer mixture to a small container, cover and chill at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time, up to 24 hours.
- To prepare wontons, remove a few wonton skins from package and lay them on dry work surface. Put 1 teaspoon filling in the center of each square skin. Paint edges of square lightly with egg. Gently fold one side over the other, pinching edges together. You should a have a folded rectangle. Now pull the lower corners in toward each other and pinch together to make the traditional curved wonton shape. Place wontons 1 inch apart on a baking sheet or platter. Dust lightly with cornstarch and refrigerate, uncovered, until ready to cook.
- Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, put a small handful of spinach leaves and about 2 tablespoons cilantro in each person's deep wide soup bowl. When water is boiling, drop about 10 wontons into pot and cook for 2 minutes. Remove with wire bamboo spider (or a large fine-meshed sieve with a handle) and divide among bowls. Repeat with remaining wontons. Pour about 11/2 cups hot broth over each serving. Drizzle with red pepper oil if desired.

Steps:
- Start by making the filling. Simply combine the ground pork, chopped scallions, sesame oil, soy sauce, wine (or sherry), sugar, oil, water, and white pepper in a bowl. Whip everything together by hand for 5 minutes or in a food processor for 1 minute. You want the pork to look a bit like a paste.
- To make the wontons, take a wrapper, and add about a teaspoon of filling. Overstuffed wontons will pop open during the cooking process and make a mess. Use your finger to coat the edges with a little water (this helps the two sides seal together).
- For shape #1:
- Fold the wrapper in half into a rectangle, and press the two sides together so you get a firm seal. Hold the bottom two corners of the little rectangle you just made, and bring the two corners together, pressing firmly to seal. (Use a little water to make sure it sticks.)
- Shape #2:
- Fold the wonton in half so you have a triangle shape. Bring together the two outer corners, and press to seal (you can use a little water to make sure it sticks).
- Keep assembling until all the filling is gone (this recipe should make between 40 and 50 wontons). Place the wontons on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- At this point, you can cover the wontons with plastic wrap, put the baking sheet/plate into the freezer, and transfer them to Ziploc bags once they're frozen. They'll keep for a couple months in the freezer and be ready for the fryer whenever you're ready.
- To conserve oil, use a small pot to fry the wontons. Fill it with 2 to 3 inches of oil, making sure the pot is deep enough so the oil does not overflow when adding the wontons. Heat the oil to 350 degrees, and fry in small batches, turning the wontons occasionally until they are golden brown.
- If you have a small spider strainer or slotted spoon, you can use it to keep the wontons submerged when frying. This method will give you the most uniform golden brown look without the fuss of turning them. Remove the fried wontons to a sheet pan lined with paper towels or a metal cooling rack to drain.
- To make one or all of the sauces, simply mix the respective ingredients in a small bowl, and you're ready to eat!

Steps:
- Make the wontons: Preheat an air fryer to 325˚ F. Mix the pork, scallion, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, garlic, ginger and sugar in a medium bowl until well combined.
- Spread out the wonton wrappers on a work surface. Scoop 1 teaspoonful of the pork mixture into the center of each wrapper. Moisten the edges; fold in half to make a triangle. Fold in the two lower points to look like an open envelope; seal with a dab of water. Brush both sides with sesame oil.
- Add the wontons to the air fryer basket. Cook, flipping halfway through, until golden, 10 minutes.
- Make the dipping sauce: Whisk the soy sauce, black vinegar, sesame oil, sesame seeds and scallion in a small bowl. Serve with the wontons.
Tips:
- To make the pork filling, use ground pork shoulder or butt. It has more flavor than leaner cuts of pork.
- Season the pork filling generously with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and Chinese five-spice powder. These ingredients will give the filling a savory and flavorful taste.
- Use wonton wrappers that are thin and pliable. This will make them easier to fold and seal.
- When folding the wontons, be sure to seal them tightly so that the filling doesn't leak out during frying.
- Fry the wontons in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. This will take about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve the fried pork wontons with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular choices include sweet and sour sauce, chili sauce, or soy sauce.
