For the wonton filling, mince 6.5 ounces of pork and 2 ounces of medium shrimp.

To the minced mixture, add 1 teaspoon of shaoxing cooking wine, 0.5 teaspoon of sesame oil, 1 teaspoon of light soy sauce, 0.25 teaspoon of white pepper, 1 clove of grated garlic, ginger paste, finely chopped scallion, and 2 teaspoons of cornstarch. Mix well.
