1 min readServes 4.
Preparation & cooking time: 40–45 mins.
Served as a light meal (Dim Sum or snack).
170g (6oz) pork, not too lean, coarsely chopped
50g (2oz) peeled prawns, finely minced
1 teaspoon soft brown sugar
1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoon finely chopped spring onions
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh ginger root
32 ready-made Wanton skins
about 750ml (1¼ pints) stock
1 tablespoon light soy sauce (for seasoning)
finely chopped spring onions to garnish
Mix the pork and prawns with the sugar, wine, soy sauce, spring onions and ginger. Blend well and leave to stand for 25–30 minutes.
Place about 1 teaspoon filling at the centre of a Wanton skin. Wet with water, fold the Wanton over and join the edges, pressing to seal them. Pull out the edges to form a floral shape.
Bring the stock to a rolling boil, and cook for 4–5 minutes. Season, garnish, then serve.
