Ingredients

Method

80 Wonton Wrappers
400 g Chicken Mince
12 Tiger Prawns (Raw Shelled and Deveined )
6 Garlic Clove (Grated)
1 in Ginger (Fresh Finely Grated)
2 Onions (Shallots, Minced)
3 Onions (Spring Onions Finely Sliced)
2 Chillies Red
60 ml Hoisin Sauce
60 ml Soy Sauce (Light)
30 ml Lime Juice
10 ml Sesame Oil
½ tsp Pepper (Ground Black)
1 tsp Salt to Taste
30 ml Chinese Shaoxing Wine

Chop the tiger prawns finely and add them to the chicken in a large bowl. Add the grated garlic, grated ginger, chillies finely chopped, shallots finely chopped and spring onions finely chopped. Then add the oyster sauce, soy sauce, wine, lime juice, sesame oil and sat and pepper and mix thoroughly.

Place the wonton wrappers under a damp cloth to stop them from drying out, fill a small bowl with water to use as a glue and sprinkle some cornflour on a baking sheet.

Take a wonton wrapper in the palm of your hand and place a teaspoon of mixture in the centre of the wrapper. dampen the edges of the wrapper and fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle, then make sure you have pressed out all the air and then join the both corners with a little water on one corner and press firmly to stick the corners together. Place the dumpling on the baking sheet and repeat the process with the rest of the dumplings.

To cook the dumplings there are a few ways you can choose. You can bring a saucepan of salted water to the boil and drop the dumplings in and when they float on the top they are cooked. You can steam them which will take about 6-8 minutes, you can fry them in oil until they become golden brown in colour and crispy or you can add them to a broth and boil them for a few minutes to warm them through. They are cooked when they float.
