Flavors of China 1978
Filling:
1/2 lb raw prawns, minced
1/2 lb pork, ground
2 stalks green onions, chopped finely
4 water chestnuts, peeled and chopped finely
4 chinese mushrooms, presoaked and chopped finely
2 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp sesame oil, optional
Combine and mix well.
1 lb won ton wrappers
Place about 1/2 tsp of filling in one corner of won ton wrapper and fold into a won ton. Drop into boiling water and cook 4 mins or unti pork is done. Remove won ton and add to hot soup.
In place of 4 fresh water chestnuts I use 1 can. You can partially freeze your shrimp and cut it up into smaller pieces. Cut your mushrooms, after they are rehydrated into smaller pieces (no stem). Then you can take your water chestnuts, shrimp and mushrooms and toss it in a food processor to chop up, but not too fine. Then mix with the pork, green onions, soy sauce, salt and sesame oil.
