Ingredients:

  • Wonton Wrappers: 30 sheets
  • Prawns: 500g, peeled, deveined, and finely chopped
  • Pork Mince: 150g
  • Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
  • Ginger: 1 teaspoon, minced
  • Spring Onion: 2 stalks, finely chopped
  • Soy Sauce: 1 tablespoon
  • Oyster Sauce: 1 tablespoon
  • Sesame Oil: 1 teaspoon
  • Cornstarch: 1 tablespoon
  • White Pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Cooking Oil: For deep frying

Dipping Sauce:

  • Soy Sauce: 2 tablespoons
  • Rice Vinegar: 1 tablespoon
  • Chilli Flakes: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Sesame Oil: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Honey: 1 teaspoon
  • Garlic: 1 clove, minced

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Filling:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped prawns, pork mince, minced garlic, minced ginger, chopped spring onion, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, white pepper, and salt.
    • Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  2. Assemble the Wontons:
    • Place a wonton wrapper on a clean, flat surface.
    • Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the prawn and pork filling into the center of the wrapper.
    • Lightly brush the edges of the wrapper with water.
    • Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal tightly. Ensure there are no air pockets.
    • Bring the two corners of the triangle together, overlapping slightly, and press to seal, forming a traditional wonton shape.
    • Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  3. Fry the Wontons:
    • Heat cooking oil in a deep pan or wok over medium-high heat.
    • Once the oil is hot (about 180°C), carefully add a few wontons at a time, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding.
    • Fry the wontons for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
    • Remove the wontons with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  4. Prepare the Dipping Sauce:
    • In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, chilli flakes, sesame oil, honey, and minced garlic.
    • Stir well until the sauce is smooth and well-mixed.
  5. Serve:
    • Serve the crispy fried wontons hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
