Wonton update! 🥟❤️

Today I’m sharing my family’s wonton recipe with a little help from my kids. These are my kid’s favorite and come really close to what we get in China. I’m showing you exactly how I fold them so you can make them at home too!

**Filling:**

* 1 lb ground pork
* 1 lb ground beef
* 2 tsp sugar
* 2 tsp salt
* 2 tsp Maggi seasoning
* 2 tsp chicken bouillon powder
* 1 tbsp sesame oil
* 2 tbsp oyster sauce
* 2 tsp cooking wine
* 2 tsp cornstarch
* 1 cup chopped cilantro
* 1–2 cups chopped green onion

**Secret ingredient:** I mixed in some of the leftover fat from my homemade pho broth for extra richness and flavor. This step is completely optional, but if you’ve made pho at home, don’t throw that liquid gold away, it adds so much flavor to the wontons!

**You’ll also need:**

* Water to seal the wontons
* Fresh wonton wrappers if you can find them (Hong Kong-style are my favorite), but store-bought wrappers work just fine too. I get mine’s from Young’s Noodle Factory in Kalihi.
