Ingredients for dumplings:

2/3 lb (300g) cooked lean ground pork

3 thinly sliced green shallots

2 cloves of garlic

Orange zest

1 package of (40) wonton wrappers

Mix all of the ingredients except for the wonton wrappers in a large bowl.

Place a tablespoon of the mixture onto the middle of each square of wonton.

Fold the wonton square over the filling in order to form a triangle.

To properly close the wonton, apply a coat of water-flour mixture onto the inside contour of the wrapper and apply pressure to ensure they will not open during cooking.

Freeze the dumplings until ready to serve.

Cook frozen dumplings in boiling salted water for 2 minutes.

1 cups (250ml) coconut milk

1/4 cup ( 60 ml) rice wine vinegar
