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.
