Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Prawns (shrimp), peeled and deveined
- 50 grams Water chestnuts, finely chopped
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
- 30 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- as needed Water
Instructions
Finely chop the prawns until they form a rough paste consistency.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped prawns, water chestnuts, green onions, ginger, garlic, low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean, flat surface.
Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the prawn mixture into the center of the wrapper.
Wet the edges of the wrapper with a little water using your finger.
Fold the wrapper over the filling to create a triangle, pressing the edges to seal tightly and remove any air.
Take the two corners of the triangle on the base and wet one corner, overlapping them to form a wonton shape.
Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
In a large pot, bring water to a gentle boil.
Add the wontons in batches to the boiling water, cooking for about 5-6 minutes, or until the prawns are cooked through and wonton wrappers are translucent.
Remove the wontons using a slotted spoon and serve immediately.
