Description:
These Pork & Prawn Wraps are incredibly versatile, perfect for serving as appetizers or as part of a Dim Sum brunch spread. Made with a delightful combination of ground pork, succulent shrimp, and a medley of flavorful ingredients, these wraps are a crowd-pleaser. They freeze beautifully, making them a convenient option for busy days. For a lighter texture, I recommend using Spring Roll wraps over Won ton wraps. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce for an irresistible treat!
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground pork
- 8 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 6 shallots, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 50 wonton wrappers
- Oil for deep frying (optional)
Instructions:
-
Preparation: If you choose to deep fry the wraps, heat oil in a deep fryer or large skillet over medium heat. If baking, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
-
Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, shrimp, cabbage, egg, cornstarch, shallots, and soy sauce. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
-
Wrap Filling: Place a teaspoon of the pork and shrimp mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper. Fold the sides of the wrapper up toward the center, pleating the edges together around the filling to create a sealed parcel.
-
Freezing Option: At this stage, you can choose to freeze the wraps for later use. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until firm. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag for storage.
-
Baking Method: For baking, place the wrapped parcels on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, turning once halfway through, until golden brown and the filling is fully cooked.
-
Deep Frying Method: If deep frying, ensure the wraps are fried before freezing. Fry the filled wraps in batches until golden brown and crispy, then drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
-
Final Touch: Once cooked, whether baked or fried, drain the wraps well on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
-
Serve: Serve the Pork & Prawn Wraps hot, accompanied by a sweet chili sauce or sweet and sour sauce for dipping.
