Chef's tip
Coconut aminos are sweeter and less salty; taste and adjust the seasoning.
1 tbsp shaoxing wine
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
Ingredient note
Fresh Ginger can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but counting all uses, this recipe has about 1/2 teaspoon per serving and is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
2 scallions, thinly sliced (white and light green parts only, for filling)
Ingredient note
Interstitial cystitis flags onions because alliums can irritate a sensitive bladder, but this recipe uses only the milder scallion green tops, which is likely fine for most. If you prefer to always avoid scallions, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ tsp white pepper
Ingredient note
White Pepper can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but counting all uses, this recipe has about 1/5 teaspoon per serving and is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid white pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ tsp salt
24 square wonton wrappers (about 3-inch squares)

For the broth

6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3 slices fresh ginger (about ¼-inch thick)
Ingredient note
Fresh Ginger can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but counting all uses, this recipe has about 1/2 teaspoon per serving and is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

Instructions

1
In a medium bowl, combine the ground pork, 2 tbsp soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, 1 tsp sesame oil, grated ginger, sliced scallion whites and light greens, 1/2 tsp white pepper, and 1/2 tsp salt. Stir vigorously in one direction for about 1 minute until the mixture is cohesive and slightly sticky.
2
Set a small bowl of water nearby. Place a wonton wrapper on a clean work surface and add 1 heaping teaspoon of filling to the center. Dip a finger in the water and moisten all four edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle, pressing firmly to seal out any air pockets. Bring the two bottom corners of the triangle together, overlapping them slightly, and press to seal — the wonton will look like a nurse's cap. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling to make 24 wontons.
