200 g / 7 oz peeled prawns / shrimp , roughly chopped
1 tbsp ginger , finely grated (1.5″ / 3cm piece)
2 shallots / green onions , finely chopped (5 tbsp)
1 tbsp light soy sauce
2 tbsp Chinese cooking wine (Shaoxing wine)
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp sesame oil, toasted
Place Filling ingredients in a bowl. Use a potato masher to mash until fairly smooth – about 20 mashes. Don’t turn the prawn into a complete paste, small chunks are good.
Lay Wontons on work surface. Use 2 teaspoons to put the Filling on the wontons. Work in batches of 5 if starting out, up to 15 or 20 if confident. Brush 2 edges with water. Fold to seal, pressing out air. Brush water on one corner and bring corners together, pressing to seal.
Place wrapped wontons into a container with a lid as you work (so they don’t dry out).
To cook: bring a large pot of water to boil. Place wontons in water and cook for 4 minutes or until they float. Remove with slotted spoon.
