A delicious Shrimp Wontons (Make-Ahead Breakfast Prep) recipe.

Prep the ingredients: 1. Rinse the shrimp, squeeze out excess water, and cut into small pieces. 2. Finely chop about 150g celery and squeeze out the water — it adds freshness and crunch. 3. Soak the dried shiitake mushrooms until rehydrated, squeeze out water, and mince. 4. For the scallion-ginger-garlic water: chop or smash a few scallion segments and ginger slices, place in a bowl. Pour in about 80-100ml hot water (70-80°C, not boiling), steep for 10-15 minutes, pressing occasionally. Strain out the solids and keep only the clear infused water. Let it cool before gradually mixing into the filling.

Mix the filling: Add all seasonings to the ground pork and stir vigorously in one direction until it becomes sticky and cohesive. Gradually add the scallion-ginger-garlic water, waiting for each addition to be absorbed before adding more. Then fold in the shrimp pieces and all the chopped vegetables, mixing until evenly combined.

Wrap the wontons using your preferred technique. You can cook them immediately, or lay them flat on a tray to freeze until firm, then transfer to bags for convenient use anytime.
