Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Raw prawns, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 24 pieces Wonton wrappers
- Water
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Finely chop the prawns or pulse them in a food processor until coarsely ground but not a paste.
In a bowl, combine the chopped prawns, soy sauce, grated ginger, green onions, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Mix well to incorporate all the ingredients.
Lay out a wonton wrapper on a clean surface and place about 1 teaspoon of the prawn mixture in the center.
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water using your fingertip.
Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal tightly and remove any air bubbles.
Bring the two corners of the triangle together, moisten one corner, and press them to stick together firmly, forming a wonton.
Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Prepare a steaming setup by adding water to a pot and bringing it to a simmer. Line a steamer basket with parchment paper or lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray.
Arrange the wontons in a single layer in the steamer basket, ensuring they do not touch each other to prevent sticking.
Cover and steam over simmering water for about 8-10 minutes, or until the wontons become translucent and the prawn filling is cooked through.
Serve hot with additional low-sodium soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
