- 1 green onion, chopped
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil

Method
Combine the minced pork, white button mushrooms, green onion, ginger, garlic, soy sauce and sesame oil in a mixing bowl to make the stuffing. Season with salt and pepper and then set aside.
Spoon two teaspoons of stuffing into the centre of each wonton wrapper. Then, brush the wrappers with a few drops of water and then fold them in the shape of a triangle. Make sure to press down on the wrappers once they're folded to remove any air bubbles.
Place the wontons on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and oil, then transfer to an oven that's been preheated to 180°C and bake for 25 minutes, flipping the wontons halfway through.
Serve the wontons with soy sauce.
