Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 pack wonton wrappers, about 50 wrappers; 1/3 pound of fatty ground pork; 1 teaspoon grated ginger; 1 bunch chives, minced, about 2 cups; 1/3 pound leafy greens, such as napa, bok choy, or spinach, minced; 3/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste; 1/3 teaspoon sugar; 1 tablespoon rice wine or vermouth; 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper; 1 egg

Servings: persons

1
Mix all the ingredients for the filling in a bowl. Using your hands or a wooden spoon, vigorously stir the mixture around in the bowl and let sit for 1 hour to allow the flavors to sink in and the meat to bind.
2
Fill each wonton wrapper with about a 1 teaspoon of the filling. Leftover filling may be frozen and put to use in more wontons, or stir-fried.
3
To boil wontons, bring a pot of water to boil and cook the wonton for 3 to 4 minutes, until the skins are just beginning to turn translucent. Serve in soup or with dipping sauce. To pan-fry wontons, boil the wontons for 2 minutes. Bring a heavy skillet to medium heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Pan-fry on one or two sides. Refrain from moving the wontons around in the pan, so as to give the surface of the wontons a chance to brown.
