Mandarin fish wonton

This recipe calls for minced ginger to be added to the filling. I know some people hate the taste of ginger. However, it is best not to skip the ginger when using a freshwater fish like mandarin fish.

It is also better to buy larger fishes so that it is easier to pick out the bones.

You can substitute the mandarin fish with another kind of fish, especially one that you like.

Ingredients
1 packet of wonton wrappers

400g mandarin fish fillets
1 tbsp minced ginger

Seasonings for filling
1 tbsp cooking wine
1/2 egg white
1 tsp sesame seed oil
Dash of pepper
1/2 tsp cornstarch

Garnish
1 stalk finely chopped celery
1 stalk finely chopped spring onion
Salt & pepper
Dash of sesame seed oil

Directions

1. Wash and minced the mandarin fish
2. Mix in the minced ginger
3. Add the seasonings for filling and combine well. Add the cornstarch last
4. Wrap the wontons
5. Prepare the wonton soup
6. Boil water and cook the wontons.
7. Drain using a slotted spoon
