Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare the fillingIn a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, minced ginger, minced garlic, half of the chopped green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated and slightly sticky.
-
Form the wontonsPlace a wonton wrapper on a clean work surface. Add about 1 teaspoon of the pork filling to the center. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water, fold in half to form a triangle, and press to seal. Bring the two opposite corners together and press to seal, forming a wonton shape. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
-
Cook the wontonsBring a large pot of water to a boil. Gently add the wontons, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until they float to the surface and the filling is cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon.
-
Prepare the red oil sauceWhile the wontons are cooking, prepare the sauce by combining the Sichuan chili oil, black vinegar, crushed Sichuan peppercorns, light soy sauce, and sugar in a bowl. Mix well until the sugar dissolves.
-
Serve the dishDivide the cooked wontons among serving bowls. Generously spoon the red oil sauce over the wontons. Garnish with the remaining green onions and fresh cilantro leaves.
