Ingredients

FILLING:8 ounces ground lean pork8 ounces (16/20) shrimp, peeled, deveined and finely chopped2 tablespoons finely chopped Chinese chives1 tablespoon light soy sauce1 tablespoon peeled and grated ginger1 tablespoon Shaohsing rice wine or dry sherry2 heaping teaspoons cornstarch1 teaspoon toasted sesame oilFreshly ground white pepperWONTONS:Cornstarch, for dusting36 wonton wrappers, 3-inch square1 egg, beatenCHILI SAUCE:2 tablespoons light soy sauce1 heaping tablespoon Sweet chili sauce

Directions

For the wontons: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and dust lightly with cornstarch. Take 1 wonton wrapper and place 1 1/2 teaspoons filling in the center. Brush the edges of the wrapper with the beaten egg, then gather up the sides and mold around the filling, making a ball shape and twisting the top to secure. Repeat with the remaining wrappers, lining them up on the prepared baking sheet. Place the wontons in the freezer for an hour to firm them up before cooking. Once frozen for an hour, you can cook them or transfer them to an airtight container and freeze until you are ready to use.

For the chili sauce: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce and chili sauce and set aside.

Bring a wok halfway full with water to a boil, and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the wontons in batches until they float to the surface, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon. Garnish with the chives and serve immediately with the chili dipping sauce

Quick Marinated Pork Tenderloin

I found this recipe someplace online over a year ago and tweaked it to taste. VERY EASY, very juicy and goes great with green beans and applesauce.
I "eye-ball" measure when I cook this sort of thing, so the measurements given for the marinade ingredients should be to your taste (but DON'T use less Hoison than listed- this is the main taste of the dish!)
This has become the recipe everyone who comes over for dinner wants me to make....and it is SO EASY!
(BTW-you can find Hoison sauce in the asian area of your grocery store-it will be by the soy sauce, teriyaki and other asian sauces and seasonings)Submitted by: KELLYCHICAGO
