Fried Prawn Wanton

Fried Prawn Wanton. My-My! Such a fab kinda crunch and munch right? I know. Fried stuffs especially on the whole? You tell me. In fact, when these wanton skin parcel filled with prawns came out from my wok, a few actually went missing immediately. Not anywhere far, but our tummy tucking actually. By themselves, or when dipped into chilli sauce prior to having a ball of a time and as many as we want till all the fried prawn wanton are over and done, perhaps within a short while, what a delight. How do we make these prawn wantons? I think I have already alerted you. In fact in my previous recipes as well (Hong Kong Wonton Noodle Soup & Chicken Wanton Soup) and this latest variety is sort of the cousin of the previous Fried Shrimp Wanton. Only that, the tedious thing for me when prawns are a concern (Mee Goreng Udang, Hokkien Hae MeeMongolian Prawns, Goan Prawn Curry, Butter Prawns & Prawn Coconut Milk)? The peeling and cleaning, especially the time taken pulling out the veins. Otherwise, all is fine with prawns though I must say we are not the biggest fans of prawns (Sichuan Prawns & Chinese Prawn Fritters). Of course, there is always the once a while and these Fried Prawn Wanton, trust me, are super yummy, super crunchy and super beautifully plated up. 


Ingredients
8 wanton skin
10 medium size prawns - de-vein, remove shells and chop
1/2 carrot - remove skin and chop/thinly sliced
3 sprigs kucai/chives - slice thinly
1 sprig spring onion - chop
1/2 tbsp ginger paste
1 tsp cornflour
Pepper and salt for taste
Oil for frying

Method
Combine/mix all ingredients together except for oil.
Divide equally into 8 portions.
Place in the centre of each wanton skin
Bring the corners of the skin together and nicely tuck/press together ( how to at chicken wanton)
Fry in batches and serve with chilli sauce.

  15. Hi Nava, totally agree with you. The first few lines of the intro to a new post doesn't come smoothly if the writing mood mode is not on. Wow, Nava, I must salute you for trying out this fried prawn wanton! You seem to be very good in Chinese cooking too. This version of your fried wanton is so crispy and addictive too. Besides serving as a side dish, I can snack on it too! Thanks for sharing and warmest regards :)
