Ingredients
Scale
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 2 tbsp chopped spring onions
Wonton fillings:
- 150 g pork mince (or 75 g pork mince and 75 g chopped or minced prawns)
- 1 tbsp chopped spring onions
- 1/2 egg, lightly beaten
- 1.2 tsp grated ginger
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp Shaoxing wine
- Dash of white pepper
Dipping Sauce:
- 3 tbsp Szechuan chilli oil
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 5 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Chinkiang black rice vinegar (Snippet’s Notes: I couldn’t find this “black” variety so I used regular rice vinegar and they tasted good)
- 1/2 tsp ground Szechuan pepper
- 1 tsp castor sugar
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine pork mince, chopped prawns, 1 tbsp chopped spring onions, lightly beaten egg, grated ginger root, salt, white pepper, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix until well combined.
- Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the filling into the center of the wrapper.
- Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, fold it over the filling to create a triangle, and press the edges to seal. Ensure there are no air bubbles.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Gently drop a few wontons into the boiling water, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.
- Cook the wontons for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface and the filling is cooked through.
- Remove the wontons with a slotted spoon and drain well.
- Serve hot, garnished with the remaining chopped spring onions.
Notes
You can freeze leftover ginger root for future use. If you find folding the dumplings challenging at first, practice makes perfect. Serve with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce. These dumplings can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or frozen for longer storage.
