Ingredients

• 250 grams Shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Sliced green onions
• 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
• 1 clove Minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 200 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 50 grams Tapioca starch
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 180 milliliters Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
• 4 tablespoons Dipping sauce of choice (e.g., gluten-free soy sauce or chili oil)

Directions

Step 1

1. In a food processor, add shrimp, gluten-free soy sauce, sliced green onions, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Pulse until the mixture is well combined and coarsely chopped.

Step 2

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, and salt. Stir to combine.

Step 3

3. Gradually add warm water to the flour mixture, stirring constantly, until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 4

4. Divide the dough into small pieces and roll each piece into a thin circle, about 3 inches in diameter, using a rolling pin.

Step 5

5. Place a teaspoon of the shrimp filling in the center of each dough circle. Moisten the edges with a little water, fold the circle over to form a semi-circle, and press the edges to seal the wonton.

Step 6

6. Heat cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the wontons and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

Step 7

7. Remove the wontons from the pan and drain on paper towels.
