--Servings/Yield
--Can also use shrimp
Ingredients
- 1 lb. scallops
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- ¾ tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1 ½ teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 scallion, finely chopped
- 1 package wonton wrappers
- 1 small can water chestnus, diced
Method
Season scallops with salt and pepper. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to your favorite frying pan over medium-high heat. When hot, pat dry scallops with a paper towel and put into pan.
When a brown crust has formed on the bottom of the scallop, turn and repeat for other side. When scallops are done cooking, set aside and dice into 1/4 inch cubes
Mix all together all ingredients in a bowl. Add a little sesame or peanut oil to bind mixture.
Following directions on wonton wrappers, put about a teaspoon of filling in wrapper, wet edges and fold and press to seal.
Heat pan over medium with a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Pan fry dumplings for about 2 minutes per side or until they are golden brown.
Serve with Wei Chuan Dumpling sauce. I like the "Hot" version.
