How to Make Shrimp Wontons With Sweet Sauce
- **Prepare the Shrimp Filling:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 lb cooked shrimp (chopped), 1/2 cup finely chopped water chestnuts, 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger.
- **Chill the Filling:** Refrigerate the shrimp mixture for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
- **Make the Sweet & Tangy Dipping Sauce:** In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup pineapple juice, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions, and 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh peaches (or 1/4 cup peach preserves).
- **Simmer the Sauce:** Bring the sauce mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
- **Assemble the Wontons:** Place a spoonful of the chilled shrimp filling in the center of each wonton wrapper (about 40 wrappers).
- **Seal the Wontons:** Lightly wet the edges of the wonton wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a half-moon shape and firmly press the edges to seal.
- **Fry the Wontons (Optional):** Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the wontons in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side.
- **Steam the Wontons (Optional):** Place wontons in a steamer basket over boiling water. Steam for 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through.
- **Drain and Serve:** Remove the wontons from the skillet or steamer and drain on paper towels. Season with a pinch of salt, if desired. Serve immediately with the sweet and tangy dipping sauce.
