Ingredients
- 300 g shrimp (finely chopped into paste)
- 100 g carrots (finely chopped)
- 100 g corn kernels
- 1 tbsp cooking wine
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper powder
- Wonton wrappers
- Your favorite dipping sauce
Instructions
- 1
Prepare the shrimp by peeling off the skin and removing the vein.
- 2
Then, finely chop the shrimp so it becomes like a fine paste. I used two knives at the same time to chop fast.
- 3
Clean the carrot and finely chop it. It should be smaller than diced carrots. You can use a food processor to grate and finely chop the carrot.
- 4
In a bowl, mix the chopped shrimp with finely chopped carrots and corn.
- 5
Add cooking wine, salt, and black pepper powder. Mix well.
- 6
Place a small portion of the filling in the center of the wonton wrapper.
- 7
Dab the edges with a little amount of water.
- 8
Close the wrapper by folding and pinching the edges together. This should give you a ball of wonton with a scruff at the bottom.
- 9
Fill the steamer with water.
- 10
Line the steamer basket with parchment paper and place the wontons.
- 11
Once the water boils, steam for 10 minutes.

Take caution when removing the lid of the steamer as the moisture may drip onto the wontons.
