Ingredients
200 grams green prawns
peeled, deveined and chopped
300 grams pork mince
(the fatty kind)
0.5 cup water chestnuts
finely chopped
0.5 cup bamboo shoots
finely chopped
2 dried mushrooms
1 egg
lightly beaten
2 tablespoons cornflour
0.5 tablespoon shao xing wine
(Chinese rice wine)
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon sugar
0.5 teaspoon white pepper
1 carrot
finely grated
25 wonton wrappers
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the prawns, pork, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots and mushrooms. Then add the rest of the ingredients, except for the carrots and wonton skins, and mix well.
- Place a tablespoon of the mince filling into the centre of a wonton skin and draw up the edges leaving the top uncovered. Top with a tiny bit of grated carrot.
- Steam over rapidly boiling water for 12 minutes. Serve with soy sauce.
Notes
A great way to stop these sticking to the steamer is to line the base with baking paper.
Sometimes, I like to slightly wet the edges of the wonton skin so they adhere to the mixture.
