Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Peeled and deveined shrimp
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 2 teaspoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 unit Egg white
- 24 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.25 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a food processor, combine shrimp, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and egg white. Pulse until the mixture becomes a thick paste.
Lay a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Place a teaspoon of the shrimp mixture in the center of the wrapper.
Lightly dampen the edges of the wonton wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal tightly. Repeat with the remaining shrimp mixture and wrappers.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the wontons in small batches for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together green onions, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, honey, and chili flakes (if using) to create the dipping sauce.
Serve the shrimp wontons hot with the green onion dipping sauce on the side.
