Steamed wontons Recipe Ingredients
- 16 wonton sheets
- a little sunflower oil
Filling
- 6 raw prawns
- 125 gram minced pork
- 40 gram onion, chipped
- 2 garlic cloves
- 5 water chestnuts
- 1 teaspoon palm or light muscovadu sugar
- 1 teaspoon light soy sauce

Steamed wontons Recipe Directions
1. Make the filling by preparing the prawns and blending all the ingredients in a blender or
food processor.
2. Put 1 heaped teaspoonful of the filling into the centre of a wrapper, placed over your thumb and index finger. As you push the filled wrapper down through the circle you fingers form, tighten the top, shaping it but leaving the top open. Repeat this process with all the
wrappers.
3. Put the filled wontons on to a plate and place the plate in a steamer. Drizzle a little oil
on top of the wontons, put the lid on and steam for 30 minutes.
4. Serve the wontons hot or warm, with a dipping sauce such as sweet chilli sauce.
For homemade sweet chilli sauce Directions
1. to serve as an accompaniment, take 3 red chillies, each about 12 cm long, remove the stems, deseed and roughly chop them. Using a pestle and mortar or a small blender, pound or blend the chillies into a rough paste. In a small saucepan, boil 50ml white vinegar, 50 gram sugar and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt over a medium heat for 7 minutes or until the mixture forms a thick syrup. Spoon the chilli paste into the syrup. Cook for 3 minutes, then pour into a serving bowl and sprinkle over with a few coriander leaves.
