Ingredients
- 200 grams Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 150 grams Chicken breast, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 24 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 1 whole Egg, beaten
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil, for frying
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 0 optional Sweet chili sauce (for dipping)
Directions
Step 1
In a food processor, blend the shrimp, chicken, garlic, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, and ground ginger into a coarse paste. Do not overblend; the mixture should still have some texture.
Step 2
Lay a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center.
Step 3
Brush the edges of the wonton wrapper with the beaten egg, then fold it diagonally into a triangle, pressing gently to seal the edges. For extra security, fold the two bottom corners of the triangle toward the center and press lightly.
Step 4
Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or wok over medium-high heat to 180°C (350°F). To test without a thermometer, dip a small piece of wonton wrapper into the oil; if it sizzles, the oil is ready.
Step 6
Fry the firecrackers in small batches for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Step 7
Remove the cooked firecrackers with a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with sesame seeds while they are still hot.
Step 8
Serve warm with sweet chili sauce for dipping, if desired.
