Ingredients
- 250 g raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 100 g extra firm tofu
- 4 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 large egg white
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 30 pieces wonton wrappers
- 3 tbsp water
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by chopping the shrimp finely. Alternatively, you can pulse them in a food processor for a few seconds to achieve a coarse texture.
Step 2
Crumble the extra firm tofu into small pieces. Pat it dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, crumbled tofu, green onions, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, egg white, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything until well combined.
Step 4
To assemble the wontons, lay a wonton wrapper flat in your palm, and place approximately 1 teaspoon of the shrimp mixture in the center.
Step 5
Dip your finger in the water and moisten the edges of the wrapper, then fold the wonton into a triangle, pressing out any air and sealing the edges firmly.
Step 6
Bring the two opposite corners of the triangle together, moisten one of the corners with a dab of water, and press to seal tightly.
Step 7
Repeat this process until all the filling and wrappers are used.
Step 8
To cook the wontons, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Gently add the wontons in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until they float to the top and are fully cooked.
Step 9
Remove the wontons with a slotted spoon and serve immediately, garnished with extra chopped green onions or your choice of dipping sauce.
