The recipe is from my late grandmother whom was a real avid cook
She always made the sauce too which tasted fabulous :)
What you need:
wanton wrappers
mould for Indonesian style steamed cupcake (optional)
canola oil
egg white from 1 egg
Filling:
500g minced chicken
250g minced prawns
2/3 large China wongbok - used only the stem, sliced thinly, mixed with 1 tsp salt, squeezing them by hands til soft
2 tbsp chopped fried garlic
salt, pepper, sugar
4 eggs
400ml water
8 heaped tbsp plain flour
Mix all ingredients above, the batter should be soft and not thick, but not too runny either
If it's still too thick, adding of egg / water is fine
Adjust the taste
To assemble, I'm using mould for Indonesian style steamed cupcake to maintain the consistency of the shape and size
I googled for the picture and here's what I got, it's something like this but mine is square...
Put a little of grated carrots on top and steam for around 30 minutes or til cooked
Remove from mould
For the sauce:
3 large red chillis, remove seeds and cut
5 tomatoes, cut
salt, sugar
tomato ketchup
potato starch / sago flour / corn flour mixed with a little water as thickener
- Boil a small pot of water with cut chillis and tomatoes
- After boiled, off heat and let it warm
- Transfer to a blender and blend til smooth
- Strain, add salt, sugar, and tomato ketchup
- Adjust the taste, and mix with thickener as desired

Imagine like having 2 great fried chicken recipes on hand but I couldn't tried it, hai, looks like I have to postpone to another weekend due to the same problem!
