Method
- Peel and clean the prawns then divide into 2 equal portions. Cut half the prawn meat into a fine mince and cut the other half into large chunks.
- Place into a bowl and add in the ginger, spring onions, coriander stems, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar and a pinch of pepper and salt.
- Mix well then place 1 spoon of the prawn filling into the centre of a wonton. Brush 2 edges of the wrapper with a little water then fold over to seal. Repeat until the prawn filling is all used up.
- Bring a pot of salted water up to a gentle simmer and poach the dumplings, in 2 batches for 5-6 minutes each, or until the prawns have changed colour and the dumplings float to the top of the water.
- For the chilli dressing heat the oil up in a small saucepan until nearly at smoking point.
- Place the dried chilli and garlic into a small heatproof bowl and carefully pour over the oil.
- Once it has stopped bubbling stir in the soy sauce, vinegar and sugar.
- Place the dumpling into a serving plate and drizzle with the chilli dressing and coriander leaves.
