Transfer mixture to a bowl and with a wooden spoon or your hands work in soy sauce, rice vinegar, broth and coriander; season with salt and crushed red pepper.
• To fill: Put 1/2 teaspoon filling in center of each wonton skin. Wet one edge only. Gather top edge over and pleat and press down as you go. (Can be frozen on parchment lined baking pan; when solid, place in freezer bags).
• To cook: Heat 1/8 teaspoon vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet. Fry the wontons in a single layer until brown on one side, about a minute. Pour off most of the fat. Return skillet to heat and add 1/4 to 1/3 cup water or broth. When liquid is steaming, cover the skillet, and time the cooking for 2 minutes or until filling is heated through. If you make wontons in advance, reheat in a steamer

PORK-AND-SHRIMP WONTONS WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• For the spicy peanut sauce: Combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, oil, vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, chili paste and water in a blender. Blend until smooth, adding more water as needed. Set aside.
• For the wontons: In a large bowl, combine the pork, shrimp, chives, sesame oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, salt and pepper. Mix everything gently but thoroughly together with your hands (or a wooden spoon).
• Bring a large saucepan filled with 3 to 4 inches of chicken stock to a boil.
• Place 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture in the middle of a wonton wrapper. With your finger, dab the edges of the top half of the wrapper with beaten egg. Fold the top over to enclose the filling, press to seal the edges, then fold two corners in and press to seal the corners together. Place the finished wonton on a lightly floured baking sheet and repeat with the rest of the filling and wrappers.
• When you have enough wontons to begin to cook, gently transfer wontons into the boiling stock, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Simmer until the filling is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Continue forming wontons while the batches cook.
• Transfer cooked wontons to a bowl. Top with peanut sauce, a drizzle of toasted sesame oil, and garnish with some cilantro and serrano pepper slices. Enjoy!

CRUNCHY SHRIMP WONTONS WITH GREEN-ONION DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup soy sauce, chopped cilantro, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons ginger, and 1 tablespoons sesame oil.
• Peel shrimp, leaving tails on, and devein. Add to soy mixture and marinate, covered, 15 to 20 minutes at room temperature.Drain shrimp in a colander, spread out on paper towels, and pat dry. (I make a horizontal slit, 3/4 of the way through the shrimp, in the middle of the curve of the shrimp so that it will straighten out.).
• Pour oil into a deep, heavy pot to a depth of 3 inches and heat to 375°F Meanwhile, spread out wonton wrappers. Working with one wrapper at a time, put several cilantro leaves and stems along wrapper edge nearest you. Top them with a shrimp, arranging shrimp lengthwise so that tail extends beyond wrapper. Fold the wrapper edge opposite the tail over shrimp. Brush far edge of wrapper with water and, starting with near edge, roll wrapper loosely around shrimp, forming a package. Press seam firmly to seal.
• Preheat oven to 200°F and put a shallow rack in a baking pan. When oil reaches 375°F fry wontons in several batches so as not to crowd them, flipping midway through cooking, until medium golden brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. If shrimp begin to brown to quickly, reduce temperature. Lift shrimp out with tongs, draining excess oil, and transfer to baking pan; keep warm in oven.
• In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, the orange and lemon juices, marmalade, green onion, and 2 teaspoons ginger. Serve wontons hot, with dipping sauce on the side.
