J's Menu : Waton

When it comes to wanton, there are no standard recipes per se. Everyone tends to skew the ingredients towards their own taste buds. I'm here to share how I like my Shanghai wanton stuffings to be.
My ingredients include: ground pork, Chinese cabbage, zha cai ( it is a kind of pickle mustard originated from sichuan province ), Chinese mushrooms, caridean shrimp and fresh shrimp. Ratio goes roughly like 2:2:1:1:1:2.
Then mix the ingredients with soy sauce, sesame oil, little bit of sugar and salt. Let it sit for about 30 minutes before wrapping. This allows the ingredients to get marinated well with the sauces.
Afterwards, start wrapping. Wrapping is pretty easy. Put the stuffings in the middle of a wrapper, fold it. Then place both of your middle fingers in the back of each sides of the wrapper, fold again. Done.
