- Freezer-friendly for meal prep
- Brings the nostalgic taste of wonton dumplings—without the folding!
🛒 Ingredients (Only 6!)
You can adjust quantities based on taste, but here’s the basic formula:
- Ground pork (or chicken/turkey)
- Fresh ginger, grated
- Fresh garlic, minced
- Soy sauce
- Sesame oil
- Green onions, finely sliced
Optional boosters: a pinch of white pepper, a dash of rice vinegar, or a drizzle of chili oil.
🔪 Step-by-Step Method
1. Prepare the Aromatics
- Peel and grate the ginger.
- Mince the garlic into a fine paste.
- Thinly slice the green onions.
These three bring the signature wonton flavor, so keep them fresh and finely chopped for the best texture.
2. Mix the Meatball Base
- In a medium bowl, add your ground pork.
- Sprinkle in the ginger, garlic, and green onions.
- Add soy sauce and sesame oil.
- Mix gently until just combined—overmixing makes meat tough.
Tip: Use a fork or your hands lightly. The mixture should feel sticky but not dense.
