Crispy Wontons

Crispy Wontons are a classic Chinese recipe.

Ingredients

Wonton
150g raw tiger prawns (optional)
Chinese chives
3 Chinese mushrooms (soaked in hot water overnight)
1 clove garlic
1 handful of coriander
2 spring onions
2 leaves of Chinese leaf
15-20 wonton pastries

Marinade
2 tbsp light soy sauce
Pinch of sugar
Sesame oil to cover

The Dipping Sauce
Blue Dragon Sweet Chilli Sauce

Preparation

The Filling

Finely chop the vegetables and place in a large prep bowl
Finely dice the prawns (if using) and add to the prep bowl
Season with soy sauce, a pinch of sugar and cover with sesame oil
Mix well

The Folding

Place 1 tsp filling in the centre of the pastry
Using the tip of your finger wet all sides of the pastry with cold water
Fold bottom corner over the filling to the top corner and press pastry down to seal all sides (to form a triangle)
Holding the base of the filling with your thumbs, pull the 2 corners of the triangle towards each other, overlap the ends and then press together to form a ‘trough’ shape
Place aside and fold all wontons the same way

Cooking

Deep fry the wontons at 180°C until golden brown. They usually start to float once cooked as there will be air inside the parcels.
Serve with sweet chilli sauce on the side.
