• Chopped green onions - 2 tablespoons
• Minced garlic - 1 clove
• Ginger, grated - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine ground pork, shredded cabbage, chopped green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, coconut aminos, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Lay out a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle, and press the edges to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
