Handwrapped Shrimp Wanton (手包鲜虾小云吞)

Shrimp Wonton – make with fresh shrimp, wrapped in wonton wrapper/skin. You can boil, steam or fry them.

Wonton (云吞) means swallowing the cloud in Cantonese. These wontons look like clouds floating, especially after they are cooked and served in a bowl of soup, hence the poetic name.

Floating Clouds

Blame it on the holiday season, I have been cooking and feasting, making my days completely occupied.

I have to confess that this leaves me procrastinating with kitchen chores, especially with Chinese New Year just round the corner, which to me is another round of festive cooking and baking.

I made these wonton to freeze so that I can take them out to cook whenever needed. If you lack the time and motivation to cook, try this healthy make ahead freezer meal.
