Method

1. Marinate minced pork with pepper, salt and light soya sauce.
2. Roughly chop the prawns and add to the minced pork, along with the mushrooms and water chestnut. Set the filling mixture aside.
3. Roast dried flatfish in the oven at 180C for 5-7 minutes, until the dried flatfish is crispy and fragrant. Make sure it does not burnt or it will taste bitter.
4. Grind roasted flatfish into powder, and add to the filling mixture.
5. Next, add corn flour to the filling and stir to mix evenly.
6. Using your Handpicked wanton wrappers, fill and wrap into desired shape. You can choose to serve these wantons deep fried, steamed or in a serving broth, together with your favourite Handpicked noodles.

• To prevent your wantons from sticking together, sprinkle a thin layer of flour onto a baking tray or line a baking tray with baking paper. Place the wantons individually onto the tray, taking care not to overlap.
• It’s always lovely to keep a batch of wantons in the freezer for a quick, fuss-free meal. To store, place the tray of wantons into the freezer until the wantons are frozen. Next, transfer the frozen wantons into a ziplock bag and store in the freezer until it’s time to eat!
• When cooking frozen wanton, there’s no need to bring the wantons to room temperature before cooking. Simply add the frozen wantons into a large pot of boiling water, stir occasionally. Wantons are ready when they float to the surface.
