Wonton Soup

-1/2 lb. boneless pork loin, coarsely chopped
-2 oz. shrimp, peeled and finely chopped
-1 tsp brown sugar
-1 Tbsp Chinese rice wine
-1 Tbsp light soy sauce
-1 tsp finely chopped green onion
-1 tsp chopped fresh ginger root
-24 wonton wrappers  
-3 C. chicken stock
-1/8 C. finely chopped green onion


1) In a large bowl, combine pork, shrimp, sugar, rice wine, soy sauce, 1 tsp chopped green onion and ginger. Blend well, and let stand for 25 to 30 minutes.
2) Place about 1 tsp of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten all 4 edges of wrapper with water, then pull the top corner down to the bottom, folding the wrapper over the filling to make a triangle. Press edges firmly to seal. Bring left and right corners together above the filling. Overlap the tips of these corners, moisten with water and press together. Continue until all wrappers are used. Keep covered with damp cloth until ready to boil.
3) Bring a pot of water to a boil. Drop wontons in, cooking 3-5 minutes until they float. Remove with a slotted spoon.
4) Heat chicken stock in a large pot. Drop cooked wontons in. When heated through, garnish with chopped green onion, and serve.
