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.
