EZCR#69 - WANTAN WITH RED CHILLI VINEGAR SAUCE

These boiled dumplings are easy to make and just perfect for a light meal or served with noodles.
The filling is a mixture of meat and prawns which can be replaced with fish paste too.  Served with a spicy, sourish  vinegar dipping sauce makes it appetising and tasty.  You can use black vinegar sauce, too.
Ingredients
[makes 40-50 wantans]
100 gm minced pork
100 gm plain prawn paste or fish paste
1 stalk spring onions - chopped
enough wantan wrappers [about 100 gm]
Seasoning
1/4 tsp each of salt and sugar
dash of pepper and sesame seed oil
Dipping Sauce [combined
1 tsp each of Szechuan chilli oil, red chilli oil, vinegar and oyster sauce
1 tbsp cooled boiled water
  1. Combine minced pork and paste with seasoning.  Stir until paste is sticky.  Mix in some chopped spring onions.  Set aside.
  2. Combine dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
  3. Spread some filling onto wantan skin, bring edges together to make the dumpling.  Finish doing the same for the remaining ingredients.
  4. Bring a pot of water to boil, drop dumplings to cook.  The dumplings will float to the surface when cooked.  Dish up with a serrated ladle.
  5. Serve with dipping sauce or drizzle sauce over dumplings.  Garnish with remaining spring onions.
