Hong You Chao Shou (Sichuan Pork Wontons) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs ground pork
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons dry sherry
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 tablespoon chinese rice wine or 1 tablespoon mirin
4 garlic cloves, minced
4 inches ginger, peeled minced
40 (3 1/2 inch) square wonton wrappers
1 egg, beaten
kosher salt, to taste
1/2 cup sichuan red chili oil, plus more for serving (hong you)
2 tablespoons Chinkiang vinegar, plus more for serving

Preparation

Mix pork, cornstarch, sherry, soy, wine, garlic, and ginger in a bowl. Working with 1 wrapper at a time, place 1/2 tbsp filling in center, brush edges with egg, and fold in half, forming a triangle. Overlap opposite corners, brushing with egg to seal together. Repeat with remaining wrappers and pork mixture; set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil over high heat; working in batches, cook wontons until firm and cooked through, 5-7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain, and place in a bowl; season with salt and toss with red chile oil and vinegar. Serve additional red chile oil and vinegar on the side, if you like.
