Fried Crispy Wontons with Pork, Shrimp and Chives, with Sweet and Sour Papaya
By Chef Deniz Tarakcioglu
July 29th, 2021
Ingredients:
200g of fatty ground pork
10 x 21/25 wild shrimp, cut into chunks
50mL chives, thinly sliced
20mL fresh ginger, zested
2 cloves of garlic, zested
30mL soy sauce
50mL fish sauce
20mL maple syrup
1 lime, juice and zest
20 wonton wrappers
1 ripe papaya
40mL chopped cilantro
Instructions:
In a medium sized bowl, mix pork, soy, shrimp, chives, ginger and garlic until a uniform paste is achieved. Keep the mixture very cold at all times! Rest for at least 1 hour.
Depending on the size of your wrappers, grab a ball of filling (usually around 20g or 10mL). Pinch the wrapper around the filling to the desired shape and use a light brush of water mixed with a little corn starch (or slurry) as the glue. Make sure all the air is squeeze out. Place in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Bring a pot of oil to 350F. In another large bowl, lay down slices of papaya, add lime juice and zest, cilantro, fish sauce and maple syrup and marinade for 5 minutes.
Fry the wontons until they are golden brown and the filling is cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer onto a wire rack or paper towels.
Strain the juice from the papaya bowl and serve it as a dip.
