Wonton Wednesday

Remember that cooking class Mr. Malone and I took awhile back? We have been talking about actually making dim sum at home ever since, and didn't actually see it through until last night. The wontons didn't look so appetizing once they were steamed, but they sure tasted great!

Our happy little wontons, before they hit the steamer.

STEAMED SHRIMP & SCALLION WONTONS

*Via HipCooks

3/4" piece fresh ginger, peeled

2 cloves garlic, peeled

1 bunch cilantro (As you may know, I hate cilantro, so we added very little.)

2 Tbsp soy sauce

1 Tbsp sesame oil

2 green chilies (Or more if you like it. 2 had plenty of kick for my taste buds.)

1 pound shrimp, shelled

1 package wonton wrappers (We used square, but I think round would have been easier.)

*In a food processor, mix ginger, garlic, cilantro, soy sauce, sesame oil and chilies. Taste before adding the shrimp! Add more garlic or ginger, if needed.

*Add shrimp and mix until combined.

*Place a heaping teaspoon of the shrimp mixture in the middle of the wonton wrapper. Use a little bit of water on the edges, to seal. Make sure seams are closed tightly!

*We steamed our wontons in the rice cooker, but you could pan fry these as well. We were also able to freeze more than half, making an easy dinner in the future. Enjoy!
