Tips:

To make the wonton wrappers from scratch, mix all-purpose flour, salt, and water in a bowl until a dough forms. Knead the dough for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
If you don't have time to make your own wonton wrappers, you can use store-bought wonton wrappers. Look for wrappers that are thin and pliable.
To make the pork filling, use ground pork that is at least 80% lean. This will help prevent the wontons from becoming greasy.
To make the sesame sauce, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey until smooth. You can also add a bit of Sriracha sauce for a spicy kick.
To cook the wontons, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the wontons and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the top. Remove the wontons from the pot and drain them on paper towels.
To serve the wontons, arrange them on a plate and drizzle with sesame sauce. You can also garnish the wontons with chopped green onions or cilantro.

Conclusion:

Pork wontons with sesame sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The wontons are filled with a savory pork filling and wrapped in a thin wonton wrapper. They are then cooked in boiling water until they float to the top. The sesame sauce is made with soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey. It is a flavorful and slightly sweet sauce that complements the pork wontons perfectly.
