Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams prawns, deveined and peeled
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
- 15 large cabbage leaves
- 1 unit egg, beaten
- 1 liter chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 100 grams spinach
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Place prawns, coconut aminos, ginger, and green onions in a food processor. Pulse until mixture is finely chopped and well combined.
Blanch cabbage leaves in boiling water for 1-2 minutes until softened. This makes them flexible enough to wrap the prawn filling.
Lay a cabbage leaf flat and place about a tablespoon of prawn mixture at the center. Fold the leaf over the filling, securing it with a small amount of beaten egg to seal the edges. Repeat with all leaves.
In a large pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add chicken broth, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Bring to a gentle boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and carefully add the cabbage-wrapped prawn parcels to the soup.
Cook for 10 minutes until the prawns are cooked through.
Add julienned carrot and spinach to the pot and cook for another 2-3 minutes until vegetables are tender.
Ladle the soup into bowls, ensuring each serving has several 'wontons' and plenty of broth. Serve hot.
