Instructions

1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 6 oz ground pork, 6 oz finely chopped shrimp, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tsp grated ginger, and 2 finely chopped green onion stalks. Mix until well incorporated.
2. Step 2: Place 1 tsp of the filling into the center of each of the 24 wonton wrappers. Moisten edges with water, fold into a triangle, then bring corners together to seal tightly.
3. Step 3: Fill a large pot with 6 cups chicken broth, adding 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp white pepper, and bring to a gentle boil.
4. Step 4: Line a steaming basket with parchment paper punched with holes or cabbage leaves. Arrange the wontons in the basket so they don't touch.
5. Step 5: Steam the wontons over boiling water for 6-7 minutes until the filling is cooked through and wrappers turn translucent.
6. Step 6: Transfer steamed wontons to bowls and ladle hot chicken broth over them. Garnish with remaining green onion if desired and serve immediately.
