2 tablespoons fresh minced ginger
2 -3 minced shallots
2 cloves minced garlic
1 teaspoon sesame oil
3 tablespoons maggi seasoning or 3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 small sliced onion
2 tablespoons oil
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 cup sliced green onion
wonton wrapper
Directions:
1. Mix together pork, ginger, shallots, garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce and cilantro in a mixing bowl and let it marinate for about 2 hours in the refrigerator.

8. of the meat mixture and place it in the middle of your wrapper and fold according to the directions on the back of the package or to your liking.
9. If your wonton wrappers are not staying pressed together, rub some water on the edges and then seal.
10. Once you have about a dozen or so add them to your boiling water.
11. Boil them for approximately 8-10 minutes.
