Shrimp And Brown Rice Wontons Food

FRIED BROWN RICE WITH SHRIMP AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat and then swirl in 1 tablespoon of the oil. When the oil begins to smoke, add the egg and swirl the skillet to make a flat egg pancake that's only half set, about 10 seconds; scoop out onto a plate.
• Add the shrimp to the skillet, sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring constantly, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Add the remaining tablespoon oil, then add the watercress, carrots, peas, garlic, soy sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring constantly, until the watercress wilts and the peas heat through, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the rice, stirring to break up any clumps, and spread it out in the skillet. Cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Return the egg, shrimp, and any juices to the skillet and cook, stirring and breaking up the egg, to mix it in thoroughly, about 1 minute. Season with additional salt if needed. Stir in the scallions and sesame oil and serve.

PORK-AND-SHRIMP WONTONS WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• For the spicy peanut sauce: Combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, oil, vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, chili paste and water in a blender. Blend until smooth, adding more water as needed. Set aside.
• For the wontons: In a large bowl, combine the pork, shrimp, chives, sesame oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, salt and pepper. Mix everything gently but thoroughly together with your hands (or a wooden spoon).
• Bring a large saucepan filled with 3 to 4 inches of chicken stock to a boil.
• Place 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture in the middle of a wonton wrapper. With your finger, dab the edges of the top half of the wrapper with beaten egg. Fold the top over to enclose the filling, press to seal the edges, then fold two corners in and press to seal the corners together. Place the finished wonton on a lightly floured baking sheet and repeat with the rest of the filling and wrappers.
• When you have enough wontons to begin to cook, gently transfer wontons into the boiling stock, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Simmer until the filling is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Continue forming wontons while the batches cook.
• Transfer cooked wontons to a bowl. Top with peanut sauce, a drizzle of toasted sesame oil, and garnish with some cilantro and serrano pepper slices. Enjoy!

SAUSAGE AND SHRIMP FRIED WONTONS

Steps:

• Heat ground pork in sesame oil, cooking it and separating it until no longer pink. Stir in the garlic and ginger and saute for a moment. Add chopped shrimp and saute until opaque. Transfer mixture to a bowl and with a wooden spoon or your hands work in soy sauce, rice vinegar, broth and coriander; season with salt and crushed red pepper.
• To fill: Put 1/2 teaspoon filling in center of each wonton skin. Wet one edge only. Gather top edge over and pleat and press down as you go. (Can be frozen on parchment lined baking pan; when solid, place in freezer bags).
• To cook: Heat 1/8 teaspoon vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet. Fry the wontons in a single layer until brown on one side, about a minute. Pour off most of the fat. Return skillet to heat and add 1/4 to 1/3 cup water or broth. When liquid is steaming, cover the skillet, and time the cooking for 2 minutes or until filling is heated through. If you make wontons in advance, reheat in a steamer

Add rice wine, soy sauce, sugar, ginger, garlic, bean paste, serrano chiles and garlic chives. Mix well to incorporate. Pan-fry a small flat patty in a small amount of oil to check seasoning; taste and adjust. Transfer mixture to a small container, cover and chill at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time, up to 24 hours.
• To prepare wontons, remove a few wonton skins from package and lay them on dry work surface. Put 1 teaspoon filling in the center of each square skin. Paint edges of square lightly with egg. Gently fold one side over the other, pinching edges together. You should a have a folded rectangle.

Dust lightly with cornstarch and refrigerate, uncovered, until ready to cook.

Repeat with remaining wontons. Pour about 11/2 cups hot broth over each serving. Drizzle with red pepper oil if desired.
