Chinese New Year Recipes: Prawn Wonton Noodle Soup

Instructions:

1. 
   1 Make the Wonton Mixture:

   • Mix the chopped prawn meat together with soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, green onion, and grated ginger.
2. 
   2 Prepare the Wontons:

   • Lay out a wonton skin and place a heaped teaspoon of prawn mixture into the center. Brush the edges of the top half of the wrapper with water and fold the bottom up to meet with the top edge. Run your finger over the filling to push out any air bubbles, then press the pastry firmly around the meat so you have a sealed parcel. Place the wonton aside and repeat with the remaining wonton skins.

   4 Cook the Wontons:

   • Gently cook the wontons for about 3 minutes in a separate pot of simmering water until just soft. When the dumplings float to the top, they are cooked. Remove from the water.
