What to add to wonton filling to make it more delicious?

There are certain requirements for making wontons, especially the fillings. There are many types of wonton fillings. Different fillings use different ingredients and have different flavors and textures. We can make them according to our own preferences. So what should be added to the wonton filling to enhance the flavor? Let's take a closer look!

What to add to wonton fillings to enhance flavor

I feel that adding some seafood to wonton fillings will enhance the taste of wontons. So when we make wontons here, we usually choose to add some small seafood. For example: shrimp, scallops, clams, octopus, etc., which will also bring freshness to the wonton soup.

The key to delicious wontons is to make the wonton filling delicious. The preparation of wonton soup should not be "ignored" either. You can choose dried shrimps and seaweed to make it at home, or you can add some vegetables to the soup. Bone broth is best if you have it, but you can also use thick soup instead.

To make wontons delicious, they must have two elements:

1. To make the filling fragrant, it must have ingredients. I have seen some wonton restaurants using a small scraper to scrape the fillings before wrapping wontons. I think such wonton restaurants will not last long. Because wontons without fillings basically lose the soul of wontons, which is "slice soup".

2. The soup must be fresh. If a wonton restaurant wants to be in business for a long time and have constant "repeat customers", the soup for cooking wontons is the magic weapon for the wonton restaurant to win.

How to make wontons fresher

Ingredients: Pork (20% fat and 80% lean), diced scallops, leeks

Ingredients: Ginger

Seasoning: salt, pepper, first-class fresh soy sauce, sesame oil, cooking wine, sugar

practice:

1. Chop the pork into small pieces and add them to a bowl. Add the first-class fresh soy sauce in portions and beat in a clockwise direction until the meat filling changes color and becomes sticky. Then add cooking wine, salt, minced ginger, and a little sugar to enhance the flavor. Add water and continue beating until the meat filling is firm.

2. Wash the leeks and cut into fine pieces. Clean the diced scallops, add cooking wine and pepper and marinate for a while.

3. Add diced scallops to the meat filling and mix well. Pour in chopped chives and drizzle with sesame oil. Stir the fillings evenly and you can open the package.

Tips:

The unique sweet taste of scallops, paired with the fragrance of leeks and pork, tastes refreshing and fresh, making it especially suitable for immediate consumption.

Wonton filling making skills

1. Wonton skin is generally thin, so the water content of the meat filling should be controlled well. To prevent the wontons from leaking out the soup, causing the wonton skin to break and affecting the taste. You can put the prepared meat filling in the refrigerator to freeze for a while, and then take it out and open the package.

2. It is better to choose leaner meat for the filling, because wontons need to drink soup, and too much meat filling will feel greasy and affect appetite. So I think that although wonton filling is similar to dumpling filling, it is better to be thinner than dumpling filling.

3. Beat the minced meat with first-class fresh soy sauce first, which can be said to be a process of letting the minced meat absorb the freshness of first-class fresh soy sauce. Then add seasonings and beat, it will feel more flavorful.

4. Since wontons are always eaten with soup, and seasonings are added to the soup, the wonton filling can be made slightly lighter.
