4 cups baby spinach, rinsed2 tablespoons plus 1 1/2 tsp soy sauce, divided2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil*1/2 teaspoon salt1/2 teaspoon sugar*1/4 tsp freshly ground white pepper1/2 pound ground lean pork loin (we ground our own)2 small scallions, minced1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger30 thin wonton wrappers*2 tablespoons chili-flavored olive oil (1 tsp oil per serving)1 small garlic clove, minced2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Directions
1. In a skillet, cook the spinach, stirring, until wilted; transfer to a colander and squeeze dry. Finely chop the spinach.

2. In a bowl, combine 1 Tbsp of the soy sauce, the sesame oil, salt, sugar and white pepper. Mix in the pork, scallion, ginger and spinach. Chill for 10 minutes.

3. Arrange 4 wonton wrappers on a work surface, keeping the other wrappers covered with plastic wrap. Brush the edges of the wrappers with water and spoon 1 1/2 teaspoons of filling in the center of each. Fold the wrappers diagonally over the filling to form triangles; seal. Bring the two opposite corners of the triangle together; press to seal. Transfer to the baking sheet and cover. Repeat.

4. In a large saucepan of boiling water, simmer the wontons over moderate heat, stirring occasionally. When they float, cook for 3 minutes longer. Drain the wontons well.

5. In a large bowl, combine the remaining soy sauce with the chili oil, and garlic. Add the wontons and toss. Sprinkle with the cilantro and serve.
