Recipe type: Appetiser
Cuisine: Japanese
Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 1 lb. raw shelled and cleaned prawns - chopped
  • ½ can water chestnuts (8 oz. can) - chopped
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon Sake- Japanese rice wine
  • 1 packet wonton wrappers
  • canola oil for deep frying.
Instructions
  1. Filling:
  2. In a bowl mix the chopped prawns, water chestnuts cornstarch and sake.
  3. If it's rather moist, add more cornstarch.
  4. How to wrap:
  5. With one wonton wrapper in your palm, place a teaspoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper and wet the edges with water.
  6. Fold in half to create a triangle or even a rectangle, whichever is easier for you. We won't get into any fancy shapes here because we are trying to keep this simple and stress free!
  7. Press the edges together to create a seal.
  8. To Cook:
  9. Because they are rather flat you can deep fry them in a frying pan, turning them over once so they are a nice golden brown.
  10. Dip in soy sauce or soy sauce with a little french mustard.
