Ingredients
Method
- Chop the shrimp into a fine mince with a sharp knife. Place in a bowl with salt, white pepper, sesame oil, ginger, chicken stock, cornstarch, and spring onion. Mix vigorously for 2-3 minutes until the mixture becomes sticky and firm.
- Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of a wonton wrapper. Moisten edges with water. Fold into a triangle, pressing to expel air. Bring the two points of the long edge together, moisten and press. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers. Refrigerate or freeze until ready to cook.
- Combine all spicy red oil sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
- Bring a large pot of water to a gentle simmer. Cook wontons in batches for 3-4 minutes until cooked through (8-10 minutes if frozen). Drain and transfer to a bowl. Spoon over the spicy red oil sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Notes
Pro Tips:
- Mince by hand — chopping the shrimp by hand gives a better texture than a food processor.
- Mix until sticky — the 2-3 minutes of vigorous mixing is essential for the filling to hold together.
- Freeze extras — uncooked wontons freeze beautifully for up to 3 months. Cook straight from frozen.
