Instrucciones

Wontons:

Place Filling ingredients in a bowl. Use a potato masher to mash until fairly smooth - about 20 mashes. Don't turn the prawn into a complete paste, small chunks are good.

Wrapping (See photos and video):

Use My Way (better Wonton Soup experience!) or the Asian Grocery Store Way (easier to pack for freezing).

Lay Wontons on work surface. Use 2 teaspoons to put the Filling on the wontons. Work in batches of 5 if starting out, up to 15 or 20 if confident. Brush 2 edges with water. Fold to seal, pressing out air. Brush water on one corner and bring corners together, pressing to seal.

Place wrapped wontons into a container with a lid as you work (so they don't dry out).

Cooking/Freezing:

To cook: bring a large pot of water to boil. Place wontons in water and cook for 4 minutes or until they float. Remove with slotted spoon straight into serving bowls. Ladle over broth.

To freeze: Freeze uncooked in airtight containers. Cook from frozen for 6 to 8 minutes. IMPORTANT: Do not freeze if you made this with defrosted frozen prawns. (Note 11)

Broth:

Place Broth ingredients in a saucepan over high heat. Add white ends of scallions/shallots if leftover from Wonton filling.

Place lid on, bring to simmer then reduce to medium high and simmer for 5 - 10 minutes to allow the flavours to infuse. Pick garlic and ginger out before using.

If using vegetables, blanch in the soup broth and place in serving bowl.

Assemble Soup:

Prepare noodles according to packet directions (if using noodles). Place in serving bowl with cooked wontons and blanched vegetables.

Ladle over soup. Serve!
