    Pork Chive Wontons

    Pork Chive Wontons. Savoury, delicious little morsels that will keep you returning for more! A Chinese classic that is great as a side, snack or for a meal.

    The taste of the salty flavour of the ground pork with the sharp-tasting garlic chives and garlic wrapped in a little wonton wrapper make this one of my favorite Chinese recipes to share.

    These pork wonton dumplings are so versatile. Have them with some noodles, in pork wonton soup, or on their own or even as meal preparation!

    The great thing about chive pork wonton recipe is that when you make a large batch and freeze them, they only take minutes to boil and cook! Minutes! That's why I love this pork and chive wonton recipe. If you put in the time and work, it'll save you so much time later in the kitchen especially if time is of the essence.

    This pork wonton recipe is similar to my Pork Chive Dumplings (click here for those) or my Pork Cabbage Dumplings (click here) but much easier to make because you don't need to make the wonton wrappers from scratch. I would actually suggest buying them from the store in the frozen section or in the fresh section (probably by the tofu) in the Asian grocer. It just cuts down on the time rather than making them yourself.

    What is a pork wonton?

    It's a thin skinned dumpling with a savoury ground pork filling paired with Chinese chives seasoned with soy sauce, sugar, ginger powder and garlic.

    For this recipe

    You'll need the following ingredients for my pork and chive wontons:

    40 wonton wrappers

    pork chive dumpling filling:
    2.5 tablespoon soy sauce
    2.5 tablespoon cornstarch
    1.5 tablespoon sugar
    1.5 tablespoon sesame oil
    1 teaspoon ginger powder
    300 grams pork ground
    1 cup garlic chives

    Where can I find some of these ingredients?

    You can purchase the wonton wrappers at most Asian Grocers. It is usually located in the refrigerated aisle where the tofu, soy or fresh noodle products are. If not, check the freezer section by the dumplings.

    If you buy the freezer ones, just ensure to defrost it the night before in the fridge.

    You can purchase garlic chives at Asian or Korean grocers. They are long flat thin grass-like vegetables. When chopped up they look like the below.

    Ingredients
      

    • 40 wonton wrappers
    • Water to seal dumplings

    Filling:

    • 2.5 tablespoon regular soy sauce
    • 2.5 tablespoon cornstarch
    • 1.5 tablespoon white granulated sugar
    • 1.5 tablespoon sesame oil
    • 1 teaspoon ginger powder
    • 300 grams pork ground
    • 1 cup garlic chives finely chopped

    Instructions
     

    • In a mixing bowl (or if you have a food processor), combine your filling ingredients except the chives. Mix the ingredients so well that the meat becomes a paste. I would suggest using a food processor to make things quicker

    • Then to your pork paste, mix in your chives by hand. I would not suggest adding the chives to the food processor as it'll make your filling look green and you'll lose the crunch of the chives when you eat them.

    • Then on a clean working surface, lay your wonton wrapper down and wet the edges with your fingers or a brush.

    • Scoop ½ tablespoon (no more) into the middle of the wonton.

    • Fold the wonton wrapper over and seal the edges tightly. It's important to squeeze them together so they stick or they will come apart when you boil them.

    • To fold it in a fancy way, push the middle of the wonton down with a chopstick.

    • Fold both sides inward and seal the flaps together with more water.

    • To cook, boil your dumplings in hot boiling water for 8 minutes or until the dumplings float to the top and are cooked through. Serve with some chili oil. Enjoy!

      I LOVE that you talked about freezing these! I always like to make recipes (like veggie burgers) that I can make a huuuuge batch of and then freeze the rest for easy re-heating later!

      I cannot wait to try them Christie! We have lots of ground pork in the freezer and Mr. two sugar bugs and I love this kind of little dumpling! For some crazy reason, my little ones still aren't the biggest fans, but maybe helping to make them will change their minds.

      Gosh, I love wontons! I didn't realise you could freeze them and defrost them easily but I guess why not. I absolutely love the idea of making a big batch and having some in the freezer for those days when you need a quick meal. These would be enjoyed here by all. And thanks for the tip on the wonton wrappers - I was wondering where to find them!
