Ingredients (serves 4):

- 1 lb ground pork
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp grated ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped scallions
- 24 wonton wrappers

To make the filling, combine the ground pork, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, cornstarch, ginger, garlic, and scallions in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
To assemble the parcels, place a spoonful of filling in the center of a wonton wrapper. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water and fold it in half, pressing the edges together to seal. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.
To cook the parcels, bring a pot of water to a boil. Place a steamer basket over the pot and arrange the parcels in the basket, making sure they don't touch each other. Cover the steamer and steam for 8-10 minutes, or until the filling is cooked through.
