Ingredients
To make Prawn Wontons, you'll need:
- 2 spring onions, finely chopped
- 2 tsp. ginger, finely chopped
- 120 ml rice wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp. light soy sauce
- 1 tbsp. oyster sauce
- 2 tsp. sesame oil
- 250g cooked prawns
- 1 tbsp. cornflour
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to season
- 16 wonton wrappers
- Flour for dusting
- Egg wash
- 400ml vegetable oil for shallow frying
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp. of water
Method
- Mix together the spring onions, ginger, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, oyster sauce and sesame oil.
- Put in the prawns, cornflour, salt and pepper and stir well.
- To make a wonton, place a wonton wrapper flat on the palm of your hand or on some lightly floured grease proof paper.
- Add a tablespoon of the mixture to the centre of the wrapper.
- Combine the egg and the water to make an egg wash.
- Dip your finger in the egg wash and paint the four edges of the wonton.
- Fold the wonton in half from corner to opposite corner so that it forms a triangle.
- Seal the wonton all around, ensuring that there are no air pockets or holes.
- Then, scrunch together the longer two triangle points together to make the wonton shape.
- To fry wontons, heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan, then fry the wontons for 2-3 minutes in the hot oil, turning occasionally, until the wontons are golden brown.
- Then remove them from the pan and drain any excess oil onto some kitchen roll.
- Alternatively, steam the wontons for around 3 minutes.
- Serve the wontons hot with a dipping sauce of your choice!
