So-Shiitake Wontons - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 large eggs, divided
    1 tablespoon water
    1 1/4 pounds ground pork
    1 (8 ounce) package shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and diced
    1 tablespoon soy sauce
    1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
    1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
    1 teaspoon onion powder
    waxed paper
    4 cups chicken broth
    1 (16 ounce) package wonton wrappers
Preparation
    Separate 1 egg white into a small bowl; mix in water. Reserve egg yolk.
    Combine the remaining 1 whole egg and 1 egg yolk, pork, shiitake mushrooms, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a bowl. Mix by hand until just combined. Add cornstarch and onion powder; mix filling evenly.
    Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
    Separate and place wonton wrappers onto your work surface. Place 1 rounded dollop of the filling onto the center of a wrapper. Dampen edges lightly with egg white mixture. Fold one corner over the filling onto the opposite corner to form a triangle; press to seal. Dampen edges again and gather in corners to create a little purse-like pouch. Place wonton on the lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.
    Bring chicken broth to a boil in a large pot. Drop in wontons carefully; cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
