Ingredients
- ½ lb prawns shelled and deveined
- 10 pieces wonton wrappers
- 1 tsp ginger minced
- 1 tsp garlic minced
- 1 tbsp coriander chopped
- ½ tsp white sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- ½ tbsp soy sauce
- ½ tsp cornstarch
- pinch black pepper
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Finely chop the shrimp and combine it with garlic, ginger, coriander, sesame seeds, sesame oil, soy sauce, cornstarch, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Place the wonton wrappers on a flat surface and spoon a teaspoon of the filling in the center of each wrapper.
- Brush the edges with some water and form a triangle shape.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350°F. Drop the prawn wontons in the hot oil and deep-fry them in batches until golden brown. Place the wontons on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
- Serve the prawn wontons with mayonnaise or a dip of your choice. Enjoy!
Notes
- Always make sure your oil is heated to a temperature of 350°F. If the oil is too hot the wontons will cook too quickly and the filling won't be cooked enough. Wontons need around 4-5 minutes to cook.
