Instructions

1
preparar

Prepare the liquid for the filling by mixing water, scallions, and peppercorns (or other spices of your preference). This liquid will help make the filling juicier.

1min

Dica: This step aims to remove the strong odor from the pork.

2
misturar

In the bowl with the ground pork, add the Shao Xing wine, oyster sauce, sugar, and sesame oil. Also add the chopped white part of the scallions.

2min

Dica: Use circular motions to mix the filling until all the liquid is absorbed.

3
montar

To assemble the wontons, take a wrapper sheet and place a portion of the filling in the center using a small spatula.

15s

Dica: The filling should not be excessive, to prevent the dumpling from being too 'doughy' after cooking.

4
selar

Fold the wrapper in half, joining the edges to seal. There are several closure methods; one involves bringing the two opposite points together like a gift wrap.

10s

Dica: Another technique involves folding in half and joining the remaining two corners. A third, more wrinkled style, involves bringing the corners toward the center with the help of a spatula, forming an envelope.

5
congelar

Place the assembled wontons on a flat surface without stacking them, to prevent sticking. If freezing, place them in the freezer until solid, then store them in a plastic bag.

1min
-18°C

Dica: For future cooking, make sure they are completely separated before storing.

6
fritar

Prepare the soup garnish by frying a thin omelet. Beat the egg with a pinch of salt and pour it into a hot skillet with a little oil, spreading it thinly to create a thin layer.

3min
180°C

Dica: Lightly press the pan with a paper towel before adding the egg to remove excess oil.

7
cortar

As soon as the omelet sets slightly, transfer it to a cutting board and slice it into very thin strips.

8
temperar

In a separate bowl for assembling the soup, combine salt, soy sauce, sugar, fish seasoning, black pepper, and sesame oil. Add a bit of the Chinese pickled mustard greens and shred a little of the thin purple seaweed.

2min

Dica: Mix these seasonings in the bowl where the broth will be served.

9
cozinhar

Boil water in a pot and cook the wontons for about one minute, or until they float to the surface.

1min 30s
100°C

finalizar

1min

servir
