5 steps. Take it one step at a time.

1. 01

   Combine the ground pork, minced ginger, the white parts of the scallions

   In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, minced ginger, the white parts of the scallions, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and a pinch of salt. Mix well in one direction until the meat becomes tacky.

2. 02

   Place about 1 teaspoon of filling

   Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of a wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, fold into a triangle, and press to seal, then bring the two bottom corners together and pinch to secure.

3. 03

   Bring a large pot of water

   Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil at 212°F (100°C). Gently drop the wontons in and cook until they float to the surface and the filling is cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and set aside.
