Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Prawns, peeled and deveined
- 50 grams Water chestnuts, finely chopped
- 2 pieces Spring onions, finely sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 piece Egg white
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 20 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 100 ml Water
Instructions
1. In a food processor, combine the prawns, water chestnuts, spring onions, garlic, ginger, coriander, low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, egg white, and cornstarch. Pulse until the mixture forms a coarse paste.
2. Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean work surface. Place approximately 1 teaspoon of the prawn filling in the center of each wrapper.
3. Moisten the edges of a wrapper with water, fold it in half to form a triangle or a pouch, and press the edges tightly to seal. Ensure there are no air bubbles and repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Arrange the dumplings in the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
5. Carefully add the water to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid to steam the dumplings.
6. Steam the dumplings for about 7 minutes on medium heat until they are cooked through, and the wrappers appear translucent.
7. Remove the lid and let any remaining water evaporate. Serve the dumplings hot with a low sodium dipping sauce of your choice.
