Preparation Method Steps:
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, combine the pork, green onions, cilantro, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Mix well.
- Assemble the wontons: Place a wonton wrapper in your palm and spoon about 1 teaspoon of filling into the center. Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle. Wet the edges with water and press to seal. Repeat with the remaining wontons.
- Cook the wontons: Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the wontons and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they float.
