Wontons
9 medium uncooked prawns, about 300gm (shrimp)
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon spring onion, finely sliced (scallions)
1 1/2 teaspoons grated ginger
1 teaspoon shaoxing wine
1 teaspoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoon oyster sauce
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
square wonton wrapper
Dressing
2 1/2 tablespoons light soy sauce
2 tablespoons finely sliced cilantro
2 tablespoons grated ginger
2 tablespoons spring onions, finely sliced (scallions)
2 tablespoons ketjap manis
2 tablespoons malt vinegar
1/4 teaspoon chili oil (store bought)
1 dash sesame oil

1
For the dressing, combine all ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
2
For the wontons, peel and de-vein prawns, then dice meat - you should end up with about 150gm diced prawn meat. Combine meat with rest of wonton ingredients, excluding wrappers, and cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3
Fill and shape the wontons as desired; seal by running a finger dipped in water around the edges. (Kylie lays out how to fill beautiful-looking wontons step by step in her book, but I can't describe it properly!).
4
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil and drop wontons, in batches, into the water and cook for 2 minutes or until just cooked - test one to be sure.
5
Remove wontons with a slotted spoon and drain. Arrange wontons on a platter and serve immediately, drizzled with plenty of dressing.
