If you’re feeling adventurous, get the kids into the kitchen this weekend and have fun rolling some wontons together!

You can pre-make the mixture and everyone can roll their own to add to your soup of choice, or enjoy with a dipping sauce and veggies.

Ingredients

  • 500 grams fatty pork mince

    finely minced

  • 250 grams green prawn meat

    roughly chopped

  • 1 tablepsoons soy sauce

  • 1 clove garlic

    crushed

  • 1 teaspoon ginger

    crushed

  • 1 small can water chestnuts

  • 1 tablespoon cornflour

  • 0.5 teaspoon salt

  • 0.5 teaspoon ground white pepper

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  • 50+ wonton wrappers

  • Eggwash

    Made from 1 egg beaten with a dash of milk

Equipment

  • 1 food processor

Instructions

  1. Place all of the ingredients except for the wonton wrappers and the eggwash into the food processor and process on high for 2-3 mins.
  2. Cover and refrigerate for an hour or two.
  3. Remove from fridge and set out a plate and the eggwash.
  4. Take a wonton wrapper in your palm and place a tsp of mince into the centre. Wash the eggwash over two adjacent edges and fold opposite corner to corner. Make sure there is no air pocket inside. Bring the left and right triangle corners to meet and seal together with a little eggwash. Freeze until ready to use.

Notes

Drop these into boiling stock and return to boil and simmer for 3 minutes to cook. Serve with some green vegetable and add some egg noodles if you are really hungry. Don't skip the step of resting the mix in the fridge. A really important chemical reaction happens during this time. Do not be tempted to use lean pork mince. It is entirely different and won't help your recipe. This recipe was created by Jennifer Cheung for Kidspot.
