Steps:
- Gather all the ingredients.
- To make wonton soup, cut 1 green onion into 2 inch (5 cm) pieces. Add the chicken stock and the green onion in a large pot and bring to boil.
- Once boiling, season with sesame oil, kosher salt, and white pepper powder. Turn off the heat and set aside.
- To make fillings, chop 2 green onions into small rounds. Save some chopped green onion to serve with the soup.
- Chop cilantro and set aside to serve with the soup.
- Cut the shrimp into smaller pieces, and then cut them into even smaller pieces (almost like paste).
- In a large bowl, combine the pork, shrimp, and chopped green onion. Grate fresh ginger and add to the mixture.
- Add all the wonton seasoning ingredients to the mixture and mix well.
- While you wrap wontons, bring a large pot of water to boil. Place a wonton wrapper on your hand. Place a teaspoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper. Start with a small amount so it's easier to work with. Use your finger to moisten the edges of the wrapper with water.
- When the edges have been moistened, fold the wrapper in half to create a rectangular shape, pressing any air that might be trapped around the filling. Fold the sides inward so that they overlap.
- Wet the portion where the sides meet. Pinch to close and seal.
- Here is the cute little wonton! Place the finished wontons on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with plastic to keep them moist as you continue with the remaining fillings and wrappers.

PORK AND SHRIMP WON TONS
A steaming bowl of won tons is welcome in any season, and making them at home is a fairly easy process. Purchase a package of high-quality won ton skins, which are available everywhere, and then it's just a matter of filling and folding them. Once they hit boiling water they cook for just 2 minutes. The filling - usually a simple mixture of well-seasoned minced meat - may be prepared hours ahead and chilled. This somewhat spicy pork and shrimp filling is particularly delicious, with plenty of ginger and Chinese garlic chives.

Steps:
- Put pork and shrimp in a chilled mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix briefly with chopsticks, wet hands or wooden spoons. Add rice wine, soy sauce, sugar, ginger, garlic, bean paste, serrano chiles and garlic chives. Mix well to incorporate. Pan-fry a small flat patty in a small amount of oil to check seasoning; taste and adjust. Transfer mixture to a small container, cover and chill at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time, up to 24 hours.
- To prepare wontons, remove a few wonton skins from package and lay them on dry work surface. Put 1 teaspoon filling in the center of each square skin. Paint edges of square lightly with egg. Gently fold one side over the other, pinching edges together. You should a have a folded rectangle. Now pull the lower corners in toward each other and pinch together to make the traditional curved wonton shape. Place wontons 1 inch apart on a baking sheet or platter. Dust lightly with cornstarch and refrigerate, uncovered, until ready to cook.
- Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, put a small handful of spinach leaves and about 2 tablespoons cilantro in each person's deep wide soup bowl. When water is boiling, drop about 10 wontons into pot and cook for 2 minutes. Remove with wire bamboo spider (or a large fine-meshed sieve with a handle) and divide among bowls. Repeat with remaining wontons. Pour about 11/2 cups hot broth over each serving. Drizzle with red pepper oil if desired.

Steps:
- Mix together the pork, prawns, spring onions, garlic, ginger, oyster sauce, oil and water chestnuts.
- Peel off a wonton wrapper and, with a pastry brush, lightly brush round the outside with cold water. Place 1 tsp of mixture in the centre and scrunch up into a pouch, squeezing to seal. Do not overfill. Repeat until you have around 35-40. (These can be chilled for up to 1 hr on a tray lined with baking parchment.)
- For the sauce, mix together the soy sauce, sherry and ginger in a small bowl. To steam, bring a large pan of water to the boil. Line a bamboo or metal steaming basket with lettuce leaves to fit.
- Arrange half the pouches in the basket (without them touching), cover and steam for 5 mins. Remove with tongs to a platter and steam the rest - check the water level. Serve, sprinkled with spring onion or sesame seeds, with the bowl of sauce.

PORK-AND-SHRIMP WONTONS WITH PEANUT SAUCE
Steps:
- For the spicy peanut sauce: Combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, oil, vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, chili paste and water in a blender. Blend until smooth, adding more water as needed. Set aside.
- For the wontons: In a large bowl, combine the pork, shrimp, chives, sesame oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, salt and pepper. Mix everything gently but thoroughly together with your hands (or a wooden spoon).
- Bring a large saucepan filled with 3 to 4 inches of chicken stock to a boil.
- Place 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture in the middle of a wonton wrapper. With your finger, dab the edges of the top half of the wrapper with beaten egg. Fold the top over to enclose the filling, press to seal the edges, then fold two corners in and press to seal the corners together. Place the finished wonton on a lightly floured baking sheet and repeat with the rest of the filling and wrappers.
- When you have enough wontons to begin to cook, gently transfer wontons into the boiling stock, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Simmer until the filling is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Continue forming wontons while the batches cook.
- Transfer cooked wontons to a bowl. Top with peanut sauce, a drizzle of toasted sesame oil, and garnish with some cilantro and serrano pepper slices. Enjoy!
