"spectacular, give me 14 of 'em!"

eating healthier really doesn’t have to be boring & lifeless. we believe that a few adjustments and tweaks to your favourite Asian dishes go a long way in making sure you’re having balanced meals and keeping your body’s need in check.

here’s a simple recipe for shrimp wantons we made recently, with a reduced amount of seasoning, highlighting the naturally sweet flavour of fresh prawns.

Shrimp Wantons
serves 2 - 3

10 medium shrimp, minced coarsely
150g broccoli
1 medium carrot, peeled
1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tsp ground white pepper
1 packet wanton skin
water, for boiling and wrapping

directions

• blanch the broccoli and carrot in boiling water for 1 minute. strain out and submerge in ice water to stop the vegetables form cooking further. drain them out of the ice water and chop the vegetables into small pieces.

• in a bowl, combine minced shrimp, vegetables, soy sauce and pepper. using chopsticks or hands, mix it all together evenly.

• wet the edges of the inner part of the wanton skin. fill up the wanton skins with ~2 tsp worth of filling. wrap and seal the edges tightly to make sure the filling does not escape when boiling.

• submerge wantons into boiling water. cook until the wanton skin turns translucent. strain out and serve on a plate or in a soup.
