- Preparation: 25 min
- Cooking: 10 min
- Makes: 1 serving (269 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Dairy-free
- Contains: egg, gluten, pork, sesame, soy
Ingredients
- 80 g Cabbage, green, raw
- 30 g Carrots, raw
- 20 g Mushrooms, shiitake, raw
- 30 g Pork, ground, raw
- 10 g Glass noodles, dry
- 4 g Garlic, raw
- 8 g Scallions, raw
- 6 g Soy sauce
- 3 g Sesame oil
- 45 g Wonton wrappers
- 18 g Vegetable oil
- 15 g Plum sauce
Method
- Soak the glass noodles in warm water for 10 minutes until soft, then drain and cut into short lengths with scissors.
- Stir-fry the pork in a splash of the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it is no longer pink, then add the garlic, cabbage, carrots and mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes until just softened.
- Stir in the noodles, soy sauce, sesame oil and scallions, then spread the filling on a tray and let it cool completely so the wrappers do not turn soggy.
- Lay a wrapper in a diamond in front of you, place a spoonful of filling near the bottom corner, fold that corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll up tightly, sealing the last corner with a dab of water.
- Heat the remaining oil in a wok or deep pan to 175 °C (350 °F) and fry the rolls in batches for 3-4 minutes, turning now and then, until deep golden and crisp all over.
- Drain on paper towels for a minute before serving hot with the plum sauce for dipping.
