Ingredients
  

  • 50-60 wonton wrappers
  • 200 g lean pork mince
  • 200 g peeled prawns, roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp ginger, finely grated
  • 2 shallots, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Chinese cooking wine
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 3 cups chicken broth

Instructions
 

  • Wontons: Combine pork mince, chopped prawns, grated ginger, chopped shallots, soy sauce, cooking wine, salt, and sesame oil in a bowl. Mash with a potato masher until fairly smooth, about 20 mashes, leaving some small chunks.
  • Wrapping: Lay wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place about 1-2 teaspoons of filling onto the center of each wrapper. Work in batches.
  • Seal Wontons: Brush two edges of a wonton wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper to seal, pressing out any air. For a classic shape, brush one corner with water and bring the other two corners together, pressing to seal.
  • Store Wontons: Place wrapped wontons in a container with a lid as you work to prevent them from drying out.
  • Cook Wontons: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the wontons and cook for approximately 4 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
  • Serve: Remove cooked wontons with a slotted spoon and place them directly into serving bowls. Ladle hot chicken broth over the wontons and serve immediately.
