Prawn Dumpling Soup 鲜虾水饺汤

When I'm feeling lazy (to cook), I'll do some simple dish that are actually 2 dishes in want. Just like this. *stick up tongue* And it's easy too.

Ingredients:

• 4 Dried Chinese Mushrooms, soaked to soften and minced
• 60g Minced Prawns
• 100g Minced Pork
• 4 Water Chestnuts, skinned and chopped
• 1 teaspoon Cornflour
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• A dash of pepper
• Wanton Skin (but I use Shanghai Shuijiao Skin here)
• Broth, I used home-made Chicken Broth

How to do it:

1. Mix all ingredients, except wanton skin and broth, together.
2. Take a wanton skin, place some mixed meat on one side and fold the other over.
3. Dab some water between the skin to seal it.
4. You can also add an additional prawn and pleat the skin if you like.
5. Set aside.
6. Boil a pot of water, add a tablespoon of oil.
7. Blanch your wanton till the skin become translucent. This helps remove the extra starch on the wanton skin.
8. Remove.
9. Bring your broth to a boil, add your wantons.
10. Add salt to taste.
11. Serve.

Note:

• I use Shanghai ShuiJiao Skin (上海水饺皮） so blanching is not necessary.
• Adding oil to the pot of water will help prevent the wantons from sticking together.
