Ingredients

• 300 grams prawns, deveined and peeled
• 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
• 15 large cabbage leaves
• 1 unit egg, beaten
• 1 liter chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium carrot, julienned
• 100 grams spinach
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Place prawns, coconut aminos, ginger, and green onions in a food processor. Pulse until mixture is finely chopped and well combined.

Step 2

Blanch cabbage leaves in boiling water for 1-2 minutes until softened. This makes them flexible enough to wrap the prawn filling.

Step 3

Lay a cabbage leaf flat and place about a tablespoon of prawn mixture at the center. Fold the leaf over the filling, securing it with a small amount of beaten egg to seal the edges. Repeat with all leaves.

Step 4

In a large pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add chicken broth, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Bring to a gentle boil.

Step 6

Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and carefully add the cabbage-wrapped prawn parcels to the soup.

Step 7

Cook for 10 minutes until the prawns are cooked through.

Step 8

Add julienned carrot and spinach to the pot and cook for another 2-3 minutes until vegetables are tender.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls, ensuring each serving has several 'wontons' and plenty of broth. Serve hot.
