Prawn Gow Gees

Ingredients

500 grams (1 lb.) raw prawns, peeled, deveined and finely chopped
4 finely sliced green onions
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
2 tablespoons chopped water chestnuts.
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar
salt and pepper
gow gee (or pot sticker) wrappers
fresh hot chili oil
chopped spring onions.

Instructions

Makes about 40. In a bowl, mix chopped raw prawns, sliced green onions, ginger, grated and chopped water chestnuts. Blend cornstarch, sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar and a little salt and pepper until smooth, and stir into the prawn mixture. Working with one gow gee (or pot sticker) wrapper at a time, put 1 rounded teaspoon of the mixture in the center of the circle, and press the edges together to form a semi circle. Twist the corners down to form a crescent. Line the base of a bamboo or metal steamer with a circle of baking paper or wax paper. Arrange the gow gees on the paper, making sure they are not touching. (You may need to do this in several batches) Steam, covered, for 8 minutes. I particularly like these with some fresh hot chili oil drizzled over them and a scattering of chopped spring onions.
