Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 30 pieces wonton wrappers
- 1 item egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 3 cups water
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Place the raw shrimp, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, ground white pepper, and cornstarch in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is finely minced and well-combined.
Lay one wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the shrimp filling in the center of the wrapper.
Dip your finger into the beaten egg and lightly wet the edges of the wonton wrapper.
Fold the wonton wrapper in half diagonally to create a triangle, then press the edges to seal tightly. Bring the two corners of the triangle together and overlap them, pressing to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil. Add the wontons and cook for about 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface and the shrimp filling is cooked through. Remove the wontons with a slotted spoon and set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, rice vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, and optional chili flakes. Stir until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Serve the cooked shrimp wontons with the sweet sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
