Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams medium-sized shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon green onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 12 pieces large cabbage leaves
- 1 piece egg white
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 250 ml water
Instructions
Chop the shrimp into small pieces and place in a bowl.
Add sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, green onion, ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper to the shrimp. Mix well until fully combined.
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add cabbage leaves and blanch for 2 minutes until slightly softened. Remove and let them cool.
Lay a blanched cabbage leaf flat and place about a tablespoon of the shrimp mixture at the center.
Brush the edges of the cabbage leaf with egg white to help seal. Fold the edges over the filling to enclose and form a wonton shape. Press gently to seal.
Repeat the process with the remaining cabbage leaves and shrimp mixture.
In a steamer, bring water to a boil. Arrange the wontons in a single layer in the steamer basket. Cover and steam for 8-10 minutes until the shrimp is fully cooked and the wontons are warmed through.
Serve hot with additional soy sauce or sweet chili sauce for dipping, if desired.
