Prawn and Garlic Wonton Soup

Well it's soup again from me, the weather has insisted on this craving of mine.........

Ingredients:

250g prawns (raw)

2 cloves raw garlic

4 shallots

1 egg

2 teaspoons of soy

25 won ton wrappers

Mince up the prawns with the garlic, the whites of the shallots and the egg.

Slice the green of the shallots and stir it through the mixture with the soy sauce.

It is very hard to explain how to fold the wontons so I have included a link for a great quick demonstration. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wUiwMOa-BI&NR=1

For the broth you can just use a fish stock or any stock really but I made a broth with:

1 tablespoon of fresh ground Thai spices (something I always have in my fridge)

1 tablespoon of Thai style chilli jam

1 tablespoon of fish sauce

1 teaspoon of palm sugar

Juice of one lime

1 teaspoon of sesame oil

Cook all of these ingredients off in a saucepan together then top with about 3 cups of water. Poach your wontons in the broth; they will float to the surface when they are done.

Serve your soup with some slithers of raw carrot and a handful of fresh coriander.
