Prawn Gow Gees
- Ready In:
- 40mins
- Ingredients:
- 11
- Yields:
-
30 gow gees
ingredients
- 250 g raw prawns, roughly chopped
- 4 spring onions, finely sliced
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons sliced water chestnuts, drained and chopped
- 3 teaspoons cornflour
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1⁄2 teaspoon caster sugar
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 30 wonton wrappers
- sesame oil, extra, for glazing
directions
- Mix the prawn meat, sprig onions, ginger and water chestnuts in a bowl. Put the corn-flour, sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar, salt and pepper in another bowl; blend to a smooth paste, then stir into the prawn mixture.
- Work with one dough round at a time and keep the rest covered. Hold a dough circle in the palm of your hand (this will keep the pastry warm) and put a rounded teaspoon of filling in the centre. Bring up two sides to meet and press the edges to seal. Press the gow gee firmly down on the bench to make a flat base and twist both sides down to form a crescent. Brush very lightly with sesame oil. Place on an oiled baking tray.
- Line the base of a bamboo or metal steamer with a circle of baking paper. Arrange the gow gees on the paper, spacing them well apart. (They may need to be cooked in batches.) Cover the steamer and cook over a pan of simmering water for about 8 minutes or until the dough is slightly puffy and translucent. Serve immediately with sesame oil mixed with soy sauce, if desired.
