Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 24 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon Low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 50 milliliters Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 120 milliliters Low sodium chicken broth
Instructions
Chop the shrimp into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
Add the chopped green onions, minced garlic, minced ginger, low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch to the shrimp. Mix well to combine the filling ingredients.
Place one wonton wrapper on a clean, dry surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of shrimp mixture into the center of the wrapper.
Using your finger, moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with water.
Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle or a square packet, pressing the edges firmly to seal.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
Arrange the wontons in the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes or until they start to brown.
Carefully pour in the low sodium chicken broth and cover the skillet with a lid.
Steam the wontons for about 3-4 minutes until the wrappers become translucent and the filling is cooked through.
Remove the lid and let any remaining liquid evaporate for about 1 minute, then remove the wontons from the skillet.
Serve the shrimp wontons hot with a side of low sodium dipping sauce, if desired.
