Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, green onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
2. Place 1 teaspoon of the pork mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, fold over to form a triangle, and press to seal. Bring the two corners of the triangle together to form a small pouch, sealing the edges well.
