Nuggets

Ingredients

1. 300 grams Minced Pork
2. 5-10 Water chestnuts
3. 1 teaspoon minced ginger
4. 10 mid size prawns (optional)
5. 1 stalk spring onion
6. 3 tablespoon light Soya sauce
7. 1 teaspoon sugar
8. 1 teaspoon cornflour
9. 1 tablespoon sesame oil
10. Wonton skin
11. Cooking oil for deep frying

Method

1. Peel the water chestnut and cut into very small pieces (about 2mm size approx)
2. Wash and cut the spring onion into small pieces (1mm thin approx)
3. De-shell prawns and cut into small pieces (1/2 cm approx).
4. Mix item 1 to 9 together.
5. Wrap 1 teaspoon in 1 piece of wonton skin.  Here is some trick to make it look like gold nuggets (those used in ancient china).  Lay the skin flat on the table, put the meat in the middle, fold the corner nearer to you forward to meet the furthest corner (ie folding into half).  Then press the sides down leaving the portion having the meat bulging up, fold this portion up halfway, and at the same time bring the left and right corner towards you and meet and touch.  Dab a little water (or corn flour mix with water) on the 2 corners and press firmly, they should stick together. 
6. Deep fry with medium heat till golden brown
7. Either use the sauce as a dip, or pour the sauce over the nuggets.
8. Serve while hot and crispy.
