To make the filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, add the ground pork, salt, white pepper, soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, and cornstarch. Pour in about half of the infused water. Mix well. Pour in the rest of the infused water and mix until well combined. Toss the scallions inside and mix together.

To assemble the wontons:
- Brush some water on the edges of the wrapper. Place about a teaspoon of filling in the center. Fold it in half to create a triangle. Brush some water on one of the bottom corners, and seal the two bottom corners together.
- Repeat with the rest.
To boil the wontons and serve:
- In a pot over high heat, bring water to a boil. Place the wontons inside, and boil for about 5 minutes until completely cooked through.
