Best Steamed Pork Wontons Recipes

STEAMED PORK & PRAWN WONTONS

Steps:

• Mix together the pork, prawns, spring onions, garlic, ginger, oyster sauce, oil and water chestnuts.
• Peel off a wonton wrapper and, with a pastry brush, lightly brush round the outside with cold water. Place 1 tsp of mixture in the centre and scrunch up into a pouch, squeezing to seal. Do not overfill. Repeat until you have around 35-40. (These can be chilled for up to 1 hr on a tray lined with baking parchment.)
• For the sauce, mix together the soy sauce, sherry and ginger in a small bowl. To steam, bring a large pan of water to the boil. Line a bamboo or metal steaming basket with lettuce leaves to fit.
• Arrange half the pouches in the basket (without them touching), cover and steam for 5 mins. Remove with tongs to a platter and steam the rest - check the water level. Serve, sprinkled with spring onion or sesame seeds, with the bowl of sauce.

STEAMED PORK WONTONS

Steps:

• The 8 ounces pork loin should be ground together with 1 ounce of fatback or suet.
• Blanch bamboo shoots for 1 minute in boiling water; drain, pat dry and mince finely.
• In a large bowl, combine pork, bamboo shoots, sesame oil, rice wine, cornstarch, egg white, salt, sugar and pepper until well mixed.
• Form into 30 1-inch balls.
• Trim the corners of won ton wrappers to form circles; cover with plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out.
• To assemble, place a meatball in the center of each wrapper and bring up sides, to form an open topped basket.
• Flatten the top of each meatball with a butter knife dipped in water and flatten bottoms of dumpling so they stand upright.
• Place on a lightly oiled plate and set in bamboo steamer or on an inverted heatproof bowl or trivet set in a wok filled with 2 inches of boiling water.
• Cover and steam for 5 to 8 minutes or until done.
• Serve hot.

ASIAN STEAMED PORK WONTONS

Steps:

• 1. Mix all filling ingredients - stir the mixture until you can feel it begin to bind together.
• 2. Place a rounded tablespoon of the mixture in the middle of a wrapper.
• 3. Fold the four sides up around the meat so you have a little pouch or open bag. Squeeze the meat gently so that a little bit of the mixture comes to the top of the pouch and then gently push the meat back into the pouch.
• 4. Seal the edges of the wrapper by running your thumb and forefinger around the top of the opening. Press the bottom flat so it will sit up in the steamer. Be sure to oil the racks of the steamer pan with a bit of peanut oil so the wontons will not stick.
• 5. Steam for 15-20 minutes. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
