Ingredients:

• 200g green prawns, peeled, deveined and chopped
• 300g pork mince (the fatty kind)
• 1/2 cup water chestnuts, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup bamboo shoots, finely chopped
• 2 dried mushrooms
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 2 tbsp cornflour
• 1/2 tbsp shao xing wine (Chinese rice wine)
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp white pepper
• 1 carrot, finely grated
• 1 pkt (25) wontons skins

Method:

In a bowl, combine the prawns, pork, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots and mushrooms. Then add the rest of the ingredients, except for the carrots and wonton skins, and mix well.

Place a tablespoon of the mince filling into the centre of a wonton skin and draw up the edges leaving the top uncovered. Top with a tiny bit of grated carrot.

Steam over rapidly boiling water for 12 minutes. Serve with soy sauce.

Notes

• A great way to stop these sticking to the steamer is to line the base with baking paper.
• Sometimes, I like to slightly wet the edges of the wonton skin so they adhere to the mixture.
