URL: https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/pork-wontons-with-sesame-sauce

Ingredients

Wontons

  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1 Tbsp soy paste
  • 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 Tbsp grapeseed or vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp finely grated peeled ginger
  • 1 tsp rice wine
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground white pepper (optional)
  • 1 large egg
  • 48 pieces wonton wrappers

Sesame Sauce and Assembly

  • 3 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 3 Tbsp Chinese toasted sesame paste or tahini
  • 2 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 1–3 Tbsp store-bought or homemade chile crisp (optional)
  • to taste thinly sliced scallions (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Mix the pork, scallion, soy paste, sesame oil, grapeseed oil, ginger, rice wine, salt, and optional pepper in a bowl until combined. Add the egg and stir vigorously until the mixture is lightened in color. Chill for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Fill a small bowl with cold water. Place a wonton wrapper in your palm, add about 1 tsp of the pork mixture, dampen the edges with water, fold and seal the wrapper tightly. Pinch the corners together and place on a lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
  3. You can prepare the wontons a day in advance and keep them chilled or freeze them for up to a month.
  4. To make the sesame sauce, whisk together the sesame oil, sesame paste, soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar. Add water gradually until the sauce is drizzle-able. Stir in chile crisp if using.
  5. Boil a large pot of water. Cook the wontons in batches until the wrappers are puckered and the filling is cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool slightly.
  6. Serve the wontons in bowls with the sauce drizzled over and top with scallions and additional chile crisp if desired.
