Seafood dumpling or wonton soup - it's fish and prawn

Just can't get enough of wontons, dumplings. Made them the traditional way before. Then, "out-of-the-box" to have my spicy wontons was to change the soup base/broth by making it spicy . Now, it's a different wonton filling from the typical chicken/pork and/or prawns; it's seafood fish and prawns.

If you don't fancy poultry meat in your wontons/dumplings, I think you can try this at home. It's not so common to see such wontons/dumplings in eateries or restaurant, and I assure you...not because it is not tasty. It's (maybe) because the cost of ingredients (fish, prawns) are sometimes more expensive than poultry meat. Also, wontons/dumpling with poultry meat can be quite easily frozen (up to a period of 3- 6mths), but not those wontons/dumpling with fish/prawns fillings.




Do you need the recipe for the fish and prawn fillings that is going into the wontons/dumplings?

Yes, recipe please! I love shrimp dumplings, and except at dim sum you almost never see them.

I like a mixture of prawn and meat filling with some bits of carrots in the wantans...Yum! Yum!

I love wantons too. And I like the real kind -- thin, transluscent skin, instead of the thick doughy type at most Chinese take-out restaurant.

I don't like poultry wontons, so this is perfect for me. Thanks for the link back to your instructions about making wontons.

wmw, you sound like rabbit on the mention "carrots"...:p

ming, I always use the thin wonton wraps for my wontons...so they are guaranteed generous filling and no thick doughy skin. :D

andaliman, yes...boiled or fried. :)

nora b., hope you try making them and let me know how it goes.

wandering chopsticks, think so :O

christy, fish+prawns really a good alternative if you want a lighter version. :P

anh, wontons alone? I can usually have up to 20 in a bowl. :O
