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.
ReplyDeleteI like a mixture of prawn and meat filling with some bits of carrots in the wantans...Yum! Yum!
ReplyDeleteI love wantons too. And I like the real kind -- thin, transluscent skin, instead of the thick doughy type at most Chinese take-out restaurant.
