WONTONS WITH SPRING ONION, GINGER AND VINEGAR DRESSING



Wontons With Spring Onion, Ginger and Vinegar Dressing image

My conservative mum described these as a "taste sensation"! They are truly beautiful, a mix of flavours that everyone seems to love. Easy to make too, from Kylie Kwong's book "Simple Chinese Cooking". I actually use 150gm minced pork rather than prawns as that's what we prefer; if you're going to do this, just increase the cooking time by a couple of minutes. Prep time does not include 30 minutes refrigeration. Serves 4 as an entree.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

9 medium uncooked prawns, about 300gm (shrimp)
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon spring onion, finely sliced (scallions)
1 1/2 teaspoons grated ginger
1 teaspoon shaoxing wine
1 teaspoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoon oyster sauce
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
square wonton wrapper
2 1/2 tablespoons light soy sauce
2 tablespoons finely sliced cilantro
2 tablespoons grated ginger
2 tablespoons spring onions, finely sliced (scallions)
2 tablespoons ketjap manis
2 tablespoons malt vinegar
1/4 teaspoon chili oil (store bought)
1 dash sesame oil

Steps:

  • For the dressing, combine all ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
  • For the wontons, peel and de-vein prawns, then dice meat - you should end up with about 150gm diced prawn meat. Combine meat with rest of wonton ingredients, excluding wrappers, and cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Fill and shape the wontons as desired; seal by running a finger dipped in water around the edges. (Kylie lays out how to fill beautiful-looking wontons step by step in her book, but I can't describe it properly!).
  • Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil and drop wontons, in batches, into the water and cook for 2 minutes or until just cooked - test one to be sure.
  • Remove wontons with a slotted spoon and drain. Arrange wontons on a platter and serve immediately, drizzled with plenty of dressing.

MOM'S WONTON



Mom's Wonton image

I recently learned to make homemade won tons from my mother. They can be deep fried as an appetizer, but I prefer them in a rich, homemade chicken broth with baby bok choy or other leafy greens. Extras will freeze well for later enjoyment.

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ pound ground pork
¾ pound cooked shrimp, shelled, deveined and coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons minced green onions
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
2 tablespoons chopped water chestnuts
1 teaspoon cornstarch
¼ teaspoon garlic salt
1 pinch white sugar
1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 teaspoon chili oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
¼ teaspoon sesame oil
1 (16 ounce) package wonton skins
1 pinch garlic salt
1 egg white

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, cook the ground pork over medium heat until no longer pink.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the shrimp, ground pork, green onions, ginger, and water chestnuts. Mix in the cornstarch, garlic salt, and sugar. Mix in the dry sherry, chili oil, soy sauce, and sesame oil.
  • Place about one teaspoon of the mixture in the center of each won ton wrapper. Bring points of the wrapper together (in a triangular shape) and pinch the edges, sealing them closed with egg whites.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to boil. Carefully place won tons into boiling water without crowding. (Work in batches if necessary.) When the wontons float to the surface, add a cup of cold water and allow the water to come to a boil again. Then remove from the boiling water.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh wonton wrappers. If you're using dried wonton wrappers, be sure to soak them in water for a few minutes before using.
  • To make sure the wontons are cooked evenly, fry them in small batches.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the wontons. This will cause them to steam instead of fry.
  • Fry the wontons until they are golden brown and crispy. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Serve the wontons hot with the spring onion, ginger, and vinegar dressing.

Conclusion:

Wontons with spring onion, ginger, and vinegar dressing are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be served as a main course. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that everyone will enjoy.
