WONTON WRAPPERS

Steps:

• Mix the salt and the flour.
• In a small bowl, add 1/4 cup water to the egg and beat gently.
• Make a well in the middle of the flour, and add the egg-water mixture.
• Mix into the flour, adding remaining water as needed.
• Knead the dough into a ball.
• Keep kneading until smooth (several minutes).
• Place the dough in a large bowl, cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 1 hour.
• Cut the dough into quarters.
• Place one of the quarters on a well-floured surface, and roll out with a rolling pin until very thin.
• Cut the dough into the desired shapes (usually squares or circles).
• If stacking, dust the wrappers lightly with flour or cornstarch to keep them from sticking together.
• Keep cut wrappers covered with plastic wrap to keep them from drying out too much.
• Repeat with the other quarters.
• If not using immediately, wrap in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator or freezer.

PORK AND SHRIMP WONTON

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Process half of the shrimp and all the pork, ginger and seasonings in a food processor .
• Roughly chop the remaining shrimp and transfer to a medium bowl. Add the spring onions and the mixture from the processor to the bowl. Fold together to combine.
• Put 1 teaspoon of filling onto the center of the wonton wrapper and use your fingers to gently close the wrapper tightly. You can brush a little bit of water onto the edges to help the wrappers seal and stay closed. Sprinkle a thin layer of flour on a large plate. Place the wontons on the plate as you finish forming them.
• Bring a pot of water (or broth) to a boil. Drop in the wontons in batches and cook until they float to the top, about 5 minutes.
