Fried Prawn Wantons Served with Chilli Sauce
(Updated Version) 

Oh, hello crispy magic! Fried prawn wantons - are you ready for this crunch-fest? Picture this: golden, crispy parcels of joy, stuffed with succulent prawns, popping out of the wok, and straight into our eager bellies. Yup, that’s right - some didn’t even make it to the plate! They were swiftly devoured by our famished tummies. Whether you’re indulging them solo or giving them a dip in some zesty chili sauce, you’re in for a treat. These little beauties go fast, so better make a lot.

 

Now, if you’re wondering how to whip up these crunchy gems, let’s dive into the recipe. Fair warning: peeling and de-veining prawns (EXQUISITE CHINESE PRAWN DISHES) can be a bit of a chore, but the delicious reward is worth it. And while prawns might not be your everyday fave, trust me, these fried wantons are so irresistible that even the non-prawn fans will be coming back for more (HONG KONG WANTON NOODLE SOUP).
