Wonton Appetizers in a Soy-Ginger Dipping Sauce

Ingredients:

• Steamed Pork/Chicken Wontons

  • 1/2 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed of all visible fat
  • 1/2 pound ground chicken or turkey
  • 4 scallions, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon Chinese cooking wine or rice wine
  • 2 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons Asian (dark) sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 32 (3-inch square) wonton wrappers
  • 1/4 cup water chestnuts (diced)
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

• Soy-Ginger Dipping Sauce

  • 10 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger paste

Directions:

1. Mix the ground pork and chicken and other ingredients together well to make the wonton filling.
2. Put a dab of filling in the center of a wonton skin and fold over to form a triangle. Fold over again so the corners cross at a point about 1/3" from the ends. Dip the ends in water and press together firmly.
3. Steam in a Bamboo Steamer or any steamer appliance for about 7 minutes.
4. Mix 10 tablespoons soy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoon ginger paste to create the dipping sauce.
