In a large bowl, mix the pork and shrimp with the sugar, wine or sherry,
soy sauce, scallions, and ginger. Blend well and leave to stand for 25-30
minutes.

Place about 1t of the filling at the center of each wonton skin. Wet and
join the edges of each wonton, pressing down with your fingers to seal,
then fold each wonton over.

To cook, bring the stock to a rolling boil ine wrapper. Moisten all 4 edges
with water & pull the top corner down to the bottom, folding the wrapper
over the filling to make a triangle. Press edges firmly to make a seal.
Bring left & right corners together above the filling. Overlap the tips of
these corners, moisten with water & press together. Place completed wrapper
on the corn-starch platter & continue till all wrappers are used.

FOR SOUP: Drop wontons into boiling water & cook for 5 minutes. Drain.

TO FRY: Heat 2 to 3 cups of oil in a wok till hot. Deep fry wontons in
batches till golden, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Drain. Serve with dipping
sauce or duck sauce.

Uncooked wontons will keep in the freezer for a good 2 months if well
wrapped. Thaw before frying, but they can be boiled straight from frozen &
cooked 2 minutes longer.
