Ingredients
- 300 g of shrimp finely chopped into paste
- 100 g of carrots finely chopped
- 100 g of corn kernels
- 1 tbsp of cooking wine
- 1/2 tsp of salt
- 1/2 tsp of black pepper powder
- Wonton wrappers
- Your favorite dipping sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the shrimp by peeling off the skin and removing the vein.
- Then, finely chop the shrimp so it becomes like a fine paste. I used two knives at the same time to chop fast.
- Clean the carrot and finely chop it. It should be smaller than diced carrots. You can use a food processor to grate and finely chop the carrot.
- In a bowl, mix the chopped shrimp with finely chopped carrots and corn.
- Add cooking wine, salt, and black pepper powder. Mix well.
- Place a small portion of the filling in the center of the wonton wrapper.
- Dab the edges with a little amount of water.
- Close the wrapper by folding and pinching the edges together. This should give you a ball of wonton with a scruff at the bottom.
- Fill the steamer with water.
- Line the steamer basket with parchment paper and place the wontons.
- Once the water boils, steam for 10 minutes.
- Take caution when removing the lid of the steamer as the moisture may drip onto the wontons.
