Chicken and Mushroom Wontons

My children enjoy making these with me. Chicken and mushroom wontons are easy to prepare and cook. My children have fun making and eating their own wontons as soon as they are cooked.

Ingredients:
4 dried shiitake mushrooms
300g minced chicken
4 tbl of chopped bamboo shoots
2 tbl light soy sauce (reduced salt)
1 tea spoon of finely grated fresh ginger
1 packet of wonton wrappers
1/2 tea spoon of sesame oil
Preparation Time: 20 mins

Cooking Time: 15 mins

Serves: 4 children

Steps

  1. Soak the 4 dried shiitake mushrooms in hot water for 30 minutes
  2. Drain the mushrooms, squeeze out any excess water and then chop finely and place in a large bowl
  3. Add to the bowl the chicken mince and chopped bamboo shoots, soy sauce, grated ginger, and sesame oil
  4. Stir to combine the mixture
  5. To make the wonton, take 1 wonton square wrapper and place 1 heaped teaspoon of filling mixture in to the centre and draw and pinch the edges together to make a little wonton bag.
  6. Place the made wonton bags on a tray lined with greased baking paper
  7. Steam them for 15 mintues (hint: to stop them sticking, place the wontons on a small circle of greased proof paper in the steamer which stops them sticking to the bottom of the steamer)
  8. Serve with plum sauce, or soy sauce
