WONTON-MAKING:

My favorite brand of wrappers available at Kan Man Foods on Canal Street












Step 1: mix ground pork, chopped shitake mush-rooms, and finely diced onions, green onions, garlic, ginger. I think I used shallots too.











Step 2: moisten two adjacent sides of the wrapper













Step 3: spoon mixture (I like to say a cubic quarter size) into middle of wrapper, if in doubt, go less.











Step 4: fold to match up moistened edges with dry to form a stuffed triangle












Step 5: moisten one corner, then fold dry corner over it and press












Repeat until you're out of wrappers or mixture. It took me about 40 minutes to do these.
