Ingredients

1 box 454 g wonton pastry squares, thawed
5 cups (1.25 litres) good chicken broth (see note)
Green onion, finely chopped (for garnish)

250 g lean ground pork
1 egg
1/4 cup (60 ml) water chestnuts, finely chopped
2 green onions, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon (15 ml) soy sauce
Pepper

Preparation

In a bowl, combine all the filling ingredients. Place 5 ml (1 teaspoon) of filling on each square of dough. You'll need about 45 squares. Moisten with water around the filling and fold into a triangle. Moisten the two opposite ends, fold them and attach them at the centre. Set 16 dumplings aside for the soup recipe and freeze the other individually on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once fully frozen, stored in a freezer bag. They will keep for three months in the freezer.
In a pot of salted boiling water, cook the dumplings for 5 minutes. Cook only a few at a time to prevent them from sticking to each other. Drain. Cook a second time in the boiling chicken broth for about 5 minutes. When serving, garnish with green onion.

Note from Ricardo

Ideally, choose homemade chicken broth. If you use a store-bought broth, preferably opt for a ready to serve broth sold in a Tetra Pak, not canned. Flavor the broth with a piece of ginger, one or two whole cloves of garlic and 2 green onions, coarsely chopped. Heat the broth for 10 minutes and remove the aromatics before proceeding with the recipe.
