Ingredients

• 200 grams Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 tablespoon Low sodium soy sauce
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 20 pieces Wonton wrappers
• 1 large Egg, beaten
• 1 cup Water
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Chop the peeled and deveined shrimp into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add the low sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, and sesame oil to the shrimp. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

Step 3

Lay out a wonton wrapper on a clean working surface. Place about one teaspoon of the shrimp mixture in the center of the wrapper.

Step 4

Brush the edges of the wrapper with the beaten egg using a pastry brush. Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges together to seal.

Step 5

If desired, gently gather the two opposite corners and seal them together with a dab of egg, forming a small bundle.

Step 6

Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 7

Fill a medium saucepan about halfway with water and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat.

Step 8

Carefully add the wontons to the water, making sure they do not stick together. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the wonton wrappers are translucent and the shrimp filling is cooked through.

Step 9

Use a slotted spoon to remove the wontons from the water and allow any excess water to drain off.

Step 10

Optional: If you desire slightly thicker broth, dissolve 1 teaspoon of cornstarch in 1 tablespoon of cold water and stir into the boiling water before adding the wontons.

Step 11

Serve the cooked wontons immediately, garnished with additional chopped green onions if desired.
