Ingredients
- 250 grams medium-sized shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon green onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 12 pieces large cabbage leaves
- 1 piece egg white
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 250 ml water
Directions
Step 1
Chop the shrimp into small pieces and place in a bowl.
Step 2
Add sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, green onion, ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper to the shrimp. Mix well until fully combined.
Step 3
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add cabbage leaves and blanch for 2 minutes until slightly softened. Remove and let them cool.
Step 4
Lay a blanched cabbage leaf flat and place about a tablespoon of the shrimp mixture at the center.
Step 5
Brush the edges of the cabbage leaf with egg white to help seal. Fold the edges over the filling to enclose and form a wonton shape. Press gently to seal.
Step 6
Repeat the process with the remaining cabbage leaves and shrimp mixture.
Step 7
In a steamer, bring water to a boil. Arrange the wontons in a single layer in the steamer basket. Cover and steam for 8-10 minutes until the shrimp is fully cooked and the wontons are warmed through.
Step 8
Serve hot with additional soy sauce or sweet chili sauce for dipping, if desired.
