Instructions

1
After buying the shrimp, remove the shells and the shrimp veins.
2
After cleaning thoroughly, chop it finely with the back of a knife.
3
Add 1 egg white, cooking wine, black pepper, and a little salt to the shrimp meat, then add 1 teaspoon of starch. Stir evenly in a clockwise direction and then beat until firm.
4
Take a small wonton wrapper, put some shrimp on it. The filling for small wontons shouldn't be too much, because the wrapper is thin and the cooking time is short; if there's too much filling, it might not cook through.
5
After placing the filling inside, lift the four corners toward the center, then gently pinch them together. Once all are wrapped, place them on a plate.
6
Pour an appropriate amount of water into the pot; the amount of water can be determined based on the number of wontons being cooked.
7
After it boils, add the wrapped small wontons and gently stir them with a spoon. When it boils again and the wonton skins become translucent, you can turn off the heat.
8
Then scoop the small wontons into the prepared soup bowls, and sprinkle with chopped green onions.
