Ingredients For the Wanton case ½ cup Maida (wheat flour) 2-3 tbsp. white oil Ό cup corn flour Ό tsp. baking powder Salt to taste For the filling 2-3 tbsp. sprouts (green moong /matki) 2-3 sprigs spring onion ½ tsp. Soya sauce Ό tsp. ginger-garlic paste Freshly powdered black pepper a pinch aji-no-moto 6-8 cups water 1 tbsp. corn flour Salt to taste Method For The Filling Par-boil the vegetable sprout. Alternately, you can use pre-cooked/left over sprout. Drain the water and mix loosely with ginger-garlic paste, soya sauce and 2 tbsp. finely chopped onion with a few leaves. For the Wantons Knead the wheat flour along with corn flour adding oil, baking powder, salt to a stiff but smooth dough. Add a little water if required. Make small balls from the dough and roll them to thin small circles, put about 1 tsp of the filling, shape into round pouches giving a light twist at the neck, leaving the ends loose. For the Soup Boil water in a large pan. Drop the wantons one by one very gently and boil till they rise on top and change colour. This will take about 3-4 minutes. Add a few drops of oil to keep the wantons from sticking to each other. Make a smooth paste of corn flour and pour this in the boiling soup. Simmer for a while. Cut the remaining onion leaves into 1" long pieces and add to the soup. Add aji-no-moto and salt to taste. Sprinkle freshly ground black pepper and serve hot with chilli-vinegar sauce. |
