Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon Low sodium soy sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 20 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 1 large Egg, beaten
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch (optional)
Instructions
Chop the peeled and deveined shrimp into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
Add the low sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, and sesame oil to the shrimp. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
Lay out a wonton wrapper on a clean working surface. Place about one teaspoon of the shrimp mixture in the center of the wrapper.
Brush the edges of the wrapper with the beaten egg using a pastry brush. Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges together to seal.
If desired, gently gather the two opposite corners and seal them together with a dab of egg, forming a small bundle.
Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Fill a medium saucepan about halfway with water and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Carefully add the wontons to the water, making sure they do not stick together. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the wonton wrappers are translucent and the shrimp filling is cooked through.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the wontons from the water and allow any excess water to drain off.
Optional: If you desire slightly thicker broth, dissolve 1 teaspoon of cornstarch in 1 tablespoon of cold water and stir into the boiling water before adding the wontons.
Serve the cooked wontons immediately, garnished with additional chopped green onions if desired.
