Crispy Prawn Fried Wontons

Ingredients

Sweet chili sauce

1/2 cup, for dipping

Vegetable oil

2 cups, for frying

Cornstarch

1 tablespoon

Sesame oil

1 tablespoon

Soy sauce

1 tablespoon

Ginger

1 tablespoon, minced

Garlic

2 cloves, minced

Green onions

2, chopped

Wonton wrappers

24 pieces

Prawns

1 cup, peeled and deveined

Instructions

1. In a food processor, combine prawns, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still has some texture.
2. Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place a heaped teaspoon of the prawn mixture in the center of each wrapper.
3. Brush the edges of the wonton wrappers with a little water. Fold them in half diagonally to form a triangle, and press the edges to seal tightly, ensuring no filling can escape.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of wonton wrapper into the oil; if it bubbles and floats to the top, the oil is ready.
5. Fry the wontons in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.
6. Serve the Crispy Prawn Fried Wontons hot with sweet chili sauce for an irresistible dipping experience.
