Instructions

1. 1

   In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of ground pork, 1 cup of chopped shrimp, 1 tablespoon of minced ginger, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon of white pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

   Take a wonton wrapper and place a teaspoon of the filling mixture in the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, fold it in half to form a triangle, and press to seal. Then, bring the two corners of the triangle together and seal them with a bit of water. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling (about 24 wontons).
