Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (or a mixture of beef, lamb and pork)
• ½ cup onion, finely minced
• 2 egg whites

Method

1. Blend together the first 10 ingredients. Spoon a small amount onto each wonton skin and fold diagonally over the filling. Moisten edges and pinch together tightly.
2. Put on a plate and place on a rack in a steamer, a wok or a foil-covered roasting pan. Steam 20 minutes.
3. Saute in hot oil in a skillet on one side only until the bottom is lightly browned. Serve with sauce.
4. Sauce: Combine 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon dry mustard, 1/4 cup hot catsup and a dash of red pepper.
