Savory Delight: Chicken and Shrimp Wontons Recipe:

Ingredients:

  • 2 packs of dumpling wrappers
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 1 stalk of green onion
  • 250g – 300g raw shrimp
  • 300g minced chicken
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil + 1 tsp sesame oil for the soup
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp white pepper + 1/4 tsp white pepper for the soup
  • 1 tbsp dried seaweed
  • 1 tsp chili oil

Instructions:

  1. In a food processor, combine the garlic and green onion, then add the shrimp. Pulse the mixture until the shrimp is broken down into smaller pieces, ensuring it doesn’t become mushy.
  2. In a bowl, combine the minced chicken with the shrimp mixture. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper. Mix everything together thoroughly and let it marinate for about 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  3. Take each piece of wonton wrapper and place a small spoonful of the filling in the center. Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper diagonally, creating a triangle, and press the edges together to seal. Repeat this process until all the wrappers are filled.
  4. Set up two pots on medium heat. In one pot, add water, dried seaweed, white pepper, and salt to taste. Bring it to a boil while you proceed with the next steps.
  5. In the other pot, bring water to a boil for cooking the wontons. Carefully place the wontons in the boiling water, working in batches if needed. Cook each batch for approximately 3-4 minutes until the wontons float to the surface, indicating they are cooked.
  6. Place the cooked wontons into a bowl and ladle in a generous scoop of the flavorful seaweed soup. Garnish with a drizzle of sesame oil and chili oil for an added kick.
  7. Enjoy! Savor each delectable bite of these chicken and shrimp wontons, allowing the flavors to dance on your palate. Feel free to experiment with different dipping sauces or add extra garnishes to suit your taste preferences. Serve them as an appetizer or enjoy them as a satisfying main course.
