Ingredients
1 tbsp Ginger root, fresh, coarsely chopped
1 Medium garlic clove(s)
1 tbsp Lemon grass, tender bottom parts only, chopped
2 Medium scallion(s), coarsely chopped
2 oz Cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 oz Cooked lean boneless pork chop, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 tsp Sesame oil
2 tbsp Low-sodium soy sauce
20 Item(s) wonton wrapper(s), plus a few extra in case some break
2 Spray(s) cooking spray
2 tbsp Apricot preserves
2 tbsp Water
1 tbsp Fresh lime juice
1 tbsp Fish sauce
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400ºF.
In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a chopping blade, place ginger, garlic, lemon grass and scallions; pulse until finely chopped. Add shrimp, pork, oil and soy sauce; pulse to combine. Spoon mixture into a small bowl and mix well to combine.
Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place wonton wrappers on prepared baking sheet so they look like diamonds.
Fill a small bowl with water and using your finger or a small pastry brush, coat edges of wrappers with water. Spoon a heaping teaspoon of shrimp mixture onto middle of each wrapper; fold each wrap over filling to make a triangle and press to seal edges.
Coat tops of wontons with cooking spray and bake, flipping once, about 3 minutes per side. If wontons are not crispy enough, cook for 1 to 2 minutes more.
Meanwhile, while wontons are baking, in a small bowl, stir together preserves, water, lime juice and fish sauce. Serve wontons with dipping sauce on the side. Yields 4 wontons and about 1 tablespoon of sauce per serving.
