Homemade Wantons in soup
Ingredients:
- 200g Minced pork
- 70g Peeled prawns (chopped coarsely)
- 3 Water chestnuts (cut into small cubes)
- 1 stalk Spring onions (finely chopped)
- 2 teaspoons Light soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Chinese rice wine
- A few drops of sesame oil
- A pinch of salt
- Freshly ground white pepper, to taste
- 30 wanton skins
To serve:
- 1.5 litre chicken/ anchovies stock
- finely chopped spring onions
- Salt to taste
Method:
In a bowl, mixed the minced pork, prawns, spring onions, soy sauce, white pepper, chestnuts, ginger and chinese wine together. Mix well and marinade for at least 15 minutes.
To wrap wantons:
To wrap wantons:
- Prepare a small bowl of water. Take 1 piece of wanton skin.
- Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the centre.
- Wet half the outer edges of the wanton wrapper with your fingers.
- Fold the skin in half.
- Next to join the wanton, dab one corner with water.
- Then start to fold into half again but now bring the 2 corners together ( the underside of the left corner and the top side of the right corner together).
- Then we will get a wanton.
- (Rule of thumb is do not overstuff the skin with filling. Otherwise may not be able to fold the skin in half again).
- Place chicken/anchovy stock in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the wantons in batches and cook until the wantons float to the top, about 2 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve in a small bowl and garnish with some spring onions.
I have also used the above fillings to make Siu Kau dumplings too. Can be served just like the wantons in a soup.
SO ....... ENJOY!
