Step 1

Mince the pork.

Step 2

Soak the shrimp in salt water and with some baking soda for ten minutes. After that, rinse with water and cut them into small pieces.

Step 3

Add the seasonings:  light soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, ground white pepper, sesame oil,  salt, and cornstarch to the ground pork. Mix well, lift the meat paste, and throw it back into the bowl repeatedly to break down the connective tissue. The meat will become tender and cohesive after that.

Step 4

Mix with the chopped green onions and shrimp.

Step 5

Place a small spoonful of the filling at the center of the wonton skin (wrapper).

Step 6

Constitute a thick cornstarch slurry as gum to apply to all sides of the wrappers.

Step 7

Then, squeeze and fold all the edges of the wrappers and join together. Alternatively, after placing the filling right at the center, fold the corner of one end to join with the other corner of the opposite corner. This way, it will form a perfect triangle shape. After that, join both of the opposite ends of the triangle together. (Please refer to the video for demonstration.)

Step 8

Fill the deep fryer or a large wok with vegetable oil at least 1 inch deep.

Step 9

When the oil temperature has reached medium-high heat, place the wontons carefully into the hot oil and deep-fried for about 2 to 3 minutes until golden. Do not move the wontons around in the hot oil for the first half a minute, as you want to wait until the wrapper starts to harden.

Step 10

After all the wontons have turned golden brown, remove them immediately from the hot oil with a slotted spoon or spider strainer. Transfer them to a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.

Step 11

Combine all the ingredients for the dipping sauce in the recipe.

Step 12

Warm the mixture in the microwave to ensure the sugar and salt dissolve. Mix well
