This recipe introduces a Hong-Kong style with shrimp and pork, but you can certainly get creative by adjusting the meat ratio, use chopped pork instead of ground, or replace with different proteins like veal, turkey, or even lobster. Just keep a couple of things in mind: The wontons must be cooked in boiling water separately from the soup. The name, San Xian Wontons (三鲜馄饨) is hard to translate. Roughly, I guess one could translate it to, "Triple Delight Wontons," because the filling contains three proteins—shrimp, pork, and chicken. Wontons stuffed with a mixture of pork and shrimp seasoned with soy sauce and ginger root are gently simmered in chicken broth.
