Wontons With Spring Onion Ginger And Vinegar Dressing Recipe

My mum (even *she* raved!) called these a taste sensation! These elegant wontons boast a vibrant mix of spring onion, ginger, and a tangy vinegar dressing—a flavor explosion everyone loves. Adapted from Kylie Kwong's "Simple Chinese Cooking," this recipe is surprisingly easy. I've swapped prawns for 150g minced pork (for a richer flavor and slightly longer cook time). Prepare to impress! Serves 4 as an appetizer.

How to Make Wontons With Spring Onion Ginger And Vinegar Dressing

  1. **Make the Dressing:** In a bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 2 finely chopped spring onions, and 1 tsp sugar. Set aside.
  2. **Prepare the Filling:** If using pork, finely mince 150g pork. (If using prawns, peel, devein, and finely dice 150g prawns).
  3. **Combine Filling Ingredients:** In a bowl, combine the minced pork (or prawns), 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 finely chopped spring onion, and 1/2 tsp grated ginger. Gently mix. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  4. **Assemble the Wontons:** Spoon a small amount of filling into each wonton wrapper. Fold and seal the wontons according to your preferred method (pleated, etc.). Use a finger dipped in water to seal the edges.
  5. **Cook the Wontons:** Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add wontons in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are cooked through. Test one to ensure it's cooked.
  6. **Serve:** Remove wontons with a slotted spoon and drain well. Arrange on a platter, drizzle generously with the prepared dressing, and serve immediately. Garnish with extra spring onions if desired.
