Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g Shrimp
- 100 g Firm Tofu
- 2 stalks Green Onions
- 1 tbsp Ginger
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 tsp Sesame Oil
- 1 large Egg White
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp White Pepper
- 30 sheets Wonton Wrappers
- 50 ml Water
- 250 ml Cooking Oil (for frying, optional)
Instructions
Peel the shrimp and remove the tails. Finely chop the shrimp and place them in a mixing bowl.
Drain and pat dry the tofu with paper towels. Crumble the tofu into the bowl with the shrimp.
Finely chop the green onions and add them to the bowl.
Peel and mince the ginger and garlic, then add them to the shrimp mixture.
Add soy sauce, sesame oil, egg white, salt, and white pepper to the mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are combined and the mixture becomes sticky.
Place a wonton wrapper in your hand. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the filling into the center of the wrapper.
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal.
Bring the two opposite corners together and press firmly to seal with water, forming a classic wonton shape.
Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
To steam: Prepare a steamer and bring water to a boil. Place wontons in a single layer on a greased steamer rack or parchment paper. Steam for 5-7 minutes, until the filling is cooked through.
To fry (optional): Heat cooking oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Fry the wontons in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
Serve the wontons warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
