Directions

1

Place vinegar and sugar in a medium-sized heavy-based saucepan and bring to the oil.

Remove from stove, stir in fish sauce and chillies and set aside.

4

For the wontons, peel and de-vein prawns, then dice prawn meat– you should have about 150 g (5 oz) diced prawn meat.

5

Combine prawn meat and remaining ingredients, except wonton wrappers, in a bowl, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

6

Next fill and shape the wontons.

7

Heat oil in a hot wok until surface seems to shimmer slightly.

8

Add wontons in batches and deep-fry for about 2 minutes or until just cooked through and lightly browned.

9

To test the wontons you will need to remove one using a slotted spoon and cut it through with a sharp knife to see if the prawns are just cooked through.

10

Remove wontons with a slotted spoon and drain well on kitchen paper.

11

Repeat process with remaining wontons.

12

Arrange wontons on a platter and serve immediately with a bowl of sweet chilli dipping sauce.Category:CleanupFrom [http://tor4.wikia.com Tmp], a [http://www.wikia.com Wikia] wiki.From [http://recipes.wikia.com Recipes Wiki], a [http://www.wikia.com Wikia] wiki.
