Ingredients
Scale
- 300g Pork mince (10.6oz)
- 1 tsp Chicken powder
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 2 tbsp Cooking wine
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 3 large leaves of Chinese cabbage, finely chopped
- 6 large prawns, roughly chopped
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon YumYum, you can buy it here or use MSG
- 1 package Wonton wrappers (about 40 wrappers)
- Fresh chives, cut into 4-inch lengths (enough for one piece per money bag)
- Neutral oil for deep frying
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pork mince, chicken powder, sesame oil, cooking wine, cornstarch, and YumYum
- Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture becomes slightly sticky.
- Add the cabbage, prawns and egg, and mix until well combined, set aside.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the pork filling into the center of the wrapper.
- Take one dumpling wrapper and place it on a clean, dry surface.
- Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water
- Bring the corners of the wrapper over the filling and pinch them together
- Take a piece of fresh chive and tie it around the sealed top of the money bag, leaving a little bit of excess chive to create a decorative knot.
- Trim any excess chive length if desired.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or a deep pot to 350°F (180°C).
- Carefully lower the money bags into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the fryer.
- Fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until the money bags are golden brown and crispy.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried money bags from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
- Once drained, transfer the money bags to a serving plate and serve hot with your desired dipping sauce on the side
