Crunchy Prawn Wonton

I am making this Crunchy Prawn Wonton for my Steamboat, a recipe adapted from The Informal Chef with some amendments.  To obtain the whole "Crunchy Prawn Wonton Soup" recipe click here

Ingredients:
Wonton wrappers
100 g prawns (shelled and deveined)
1/2 tbsp chopped spring onions (green part only)
1/2 tsp baking soda

Prawn marinade:
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp light soy sauce
a few drops of sesame oil
dash of grounded white pepper
1 1/2 tsp egg white
1 tsp cornflour

Methods:
  1. Rub prawns with baking soda and set aside for half hour.  Rinse off with tap running water for a while, drain and cut into chunks.
  2. Combine all marinade ingredients with the prawns and mix well.  Let it marinate for at least two hours in the fridge.
  3. Just before wrapping, bring out the prawns from the fridge, add in the chopped spring onions and mix with a spoon to combine.
  4. Wrap marinated prawns with wonton wrappers.
  5. Boil wanton in a pot of boiling water for a quick 1/2 minute, dish with a slotted spatula and put aside on a plate.


Notes:  I only need to quick boil the wonton to get rid of the flour on the wrappers, so that my steamboat soup will not be starchy and secondly I still need to put them into the steamboat together with all the other ingredients.
