    Shrimp and Pork Wontons

    Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe

    These scrumptious pork and shrimp wontons are served in a spicy chili oil sauce. The filling is juicy, tender and savory which means that you can’t just have one! My dad used this recipe at his restaurant and served these wontons mainly in soups like wonton soup. His secret to a tender filling is to mix the pork and shrimp filling in one direction at least 100 times. I combined his delicious wonton recipe with a Ding Tai Fung inspired spicy sauce for the perfect bite!

    If you don’t have any dinner plans, you should try these shrimp and pork wontons ◡̈

    Where to buy wonton wrappers?

    wonton wrappers can be purchased at asian groceries like Nijiya, H-Mart, or 99 Ranch!

    I bought my wonton wrappers at the Japanese market called Nijiya. You can also purchase these wrappers at any asian grocery store like H-mart or 99 Ranch. I found them in the refrigerated section by the tofu but I’ve also seen them in the frozen section! Make sure the package says these are wonton wrappers because it can be so confusing with so many dumpling packages.

    Ingredients you need for your shrimp and pork wontons:

    shrimp and pork filling:

    • ground pork
    • shrimp
    • green onion
    • ginger
    • soy sauce
    • oil
    • sugar
    • salt
    • white pepper
    • chicken bouillon
    • water
    • egg
    • wonton skins
    • water (to boil wontons)
    • cilantro (for garnish)
    • roasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

    Spicy Sauce

    • hot chili oil (Lao Gan Ma or your own chili oil)
    • soy sauce
    • garlic
    • vegetable oil
    • sugar
    • rice vinegar

    Steps to make the shrimp and pork wontons in spicy sauce:

    shrimp and pork filling:

    • Step 1. Cut 8-10 shrimp in small pieces. Slice 1 green onion. Start the filling by adding ground pork, shrimp, green onion, minced ginger, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon oil, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon white pepper, ½ teaspoon chicken bouillon, 3 tablespoons water, and 1 egg in a bowl. Mix the filling in one direction (makes the filling juicier) to help myosin development. Mixing in one direction for 100 times is a good measurement to ensure its mixed well ◡̈
    • Step 2. Fill a small bowl with little bit of water. Add water to all sides of the wonton wrapper. Add ½ tablespoon filling to the center. Fold in a triangle, then fold the sides to the center and press hard to close (see video in the recipe for more clarity ◡̈ )
    • Step 3. Add water in a pot and heat pot to medium-high heat. Once the water starts boiling, add wontons to the pot and cook for 8-10 minutes. The wontons are done when they float to the top.

    Spicy Sauce:

    • Step 4. To make the sauce, add 1 teaspoon chili oil, 2 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 minced garlic cloves, ½ tablespoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon rice vinegar in a bowl. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a pot or pan until you see that there is smoking coming out. You want the oil to be really hot!! Add hot vegetable oil to the sauce and mix everything together.
    • Step 5. Dip your wontons in the spicy sauce. You can garnish wontons with sesame seeds, green onion and cilantro. Hope you enjoy!
