Prawn Money Bags
Serves 2-4
Time 20 minutes
Ingredients
200g prawn meat, unfrozen and roughly chopped
100g water chestnuts, roughly chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 shitake mushrooms, diced
½ carrot, finely diced or grated
2 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tsp fish sauce
White pepper
Freshly cracked black pepper
Wonton wrappers
Vegetable oil, for frying – sunflower or canola
Sweet chilli sauce, for dipping
Method
In a bowl, combine chopped prawn, water chestnuts, garlic, mushrooms, carrot, soy sauce and fish sauce. Ensure the ingredients are well combined – also season with white pepper and black pepper.
Place a heaped teaspoon of the mixture in the middle of a wonton wrapper, then bring the edges up to make a money bag. Repeat and prepare all the money bags.
In a pot prepare boiling water and steaming baskets and steam the money bags for 12-15 minutes until prawn is cooked.
For the fried option – ensure you safely heat the vegetable oil using a thermometer if possible – fry the money bags for 4-5 minutes then remove from oil safely.
Serve with chilli sauce.
