Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams prawns, raw and peeled
- 20 pieces wonton wrappers
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons spring onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ginger, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 cups water
Instructions
Chop the prawns into small pieces, almost like a mince consistency.
In a mixing bowl, combine chopped prawns, soy sauce, spring onion, grated ginger, sesame oil, cornstarch, and white pepper. Mix well to combine all flavors thoroughly.
Lay out a wonton wrapper on a flat surface and place about 1 teaspoon of the prawn mixture in the center.
Use your finger or a small brush to dab a little of the beaten egg along the edges of the wrapper to act as glue.
Fold the wonton wrapper over the filling to create a triangle shape, pressing out any air and sealing the edges firmly along the sides.
Bring the two base corners of the triangle together, dampen one with a touch of egg, and press to seal, forming a traditional wonton shape.
Repeat the filling and sealing process with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.
To cook, bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
Gently place the wontons in the boiling water. They should cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the top and are fully cooked through.
Remove the wontons with a slotted spoon and serve hot with dipping sauce of choice.
