Learn to make Jet Tila's authentic pork and shrimp wontons with a quick Chinese broth. This comprehensive guide covers everything from selecting the right wrappers to the perfect folding technique, plus how to make a flavorful broth in just 10 minutes.
Simmer water with ginger and scallions for 10 minutes, then add chicken powder, sesame oil, and oyster sauce
This quick broth works for wonton soup, noodle soups, hot and sour soup, or egg drop soup
Mix ground pork with coarsely chopped shrimp, ginger, sliced scallions, mushroom powder, sugar, corn starch, white pepper, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil
Chill the filling for 30 minutes to firm up for easier wrapping
Place a teaspoon of filling in each wrapper, wet edges, fold into a triangle, then bring corners together to form a purse shape
Keep wrappers under a moist towel to prevent drying out while working
Boil wontons for 1-2 minutes until they float, then blanch baby bok choy in the same water until bright green
Remove aromatics from broth before serving
Place 8 wontons and bok choy in each bowl, pour hot broth over, garnish with scallions and white pepper
The number 8 is considered lucky in Chinese culture
