This recipe is akin to time traveling back to my 8-year-old self, tableside with my grandmother as she serves the family a Beijing-inspired feast. My grandmother used to scribble into a Chinese cookbook her own riffs on each recipe--tips and tricks she would later pass down to me that I have included in this very recipe. You can play with the ratio of pork to shrimp depending on your personal taste or preference. For added fun, pick yourself up a Chinese cleaver for mincing.
In a large bowl, mix together the pork, shrimp, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, cornstarch, white pepper, garlic and green onions until well combined.
Lay out a wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Place a small spoonful of the filling in the center of the wrapper (about 1 tablespoon). Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper, then fold the wrapper in half to create a triangle, pressing the edges together to seal the filling inside. Bring the 2 corners of the long side of the triangle together and fold one over the other. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until hot, about 350 degrees F. Carefully lower the wontons a few at a time into the hot oil with a slotted spoon or spider and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes. Use the slotted spoon to transfer the cooked wontons to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve the hot wontons with soy sauce or chili oil, for dipping.
