This is a delux version of wontons as it is 100% shrimp filling. Most shrimp wontons are 2:1, that is 2 parts shrimp to 1 part pork but here we’re splurging a bit ! :) (I’m usually pretty tight with money when it comes to clothing and everything but FOOD)

For a pork stock, see our easy peasy pork stock recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg raw shrimp, shelled and deveined
  • 100g chopped green onions
  • 225g water chestnuts*, chopped
  • 1 tsp finely grated ginger
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 packet wonton wrappers, about 50 pieces**

* Don’t buy ICA’s brand of water chestnuts as these are not crunchy at all.

**Get only the yellow wonton wrappers as these are a bit thicker than the white type and won’t tear as easily.

Method

Step 1

Place all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until desired consistency. I prefer my filling to be coarse so that I could see individual shrimp bits.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine 1 tsp of cornstarch in 2 tbsp water. This will be the glue to seal the wontons.

Step 3

Place 1 tsp of shrimp filling in each wrapper.

Step 4

Cook the wontons in boiling water until they float up and look wrinkly.

Step 5

Eat as a soup in a seafood stock or as an appetizer dipped in soy sauce.
