Instructions
Preparing the filling
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the chicken, shrimp, scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil. oyster sauce and pepper.
- Mix thoroughly.
Wrapping the wontons
- Put one wonton wrapper in the palm of your hand and place half a tablespoon of filling in the center.
- Using your finger, add a thin layer of water alongside the two top edges of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom to the top, forming a triangle and press the edges together to seal.
- Fill a frying pan/wok with oil for deep frying
- Once oil is moderately hot, fry the wontons, a few pieces at a time, turning occasionally until they are golden brown.
- Remove them to a plate lined with kitchen paper so they can drain excess oil.
- In a wok, heat 1 tbsp of oil, fry chilli paste for 2 minutes and mix in chopped garlic and fry for a further 40 seconds.
- Add in oyster sauce, dark sweet sauce, light soy sauce and sesame oil. Cook for a further 1 minute and remove from heat.
- Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Once boiling, add 1 piece of noodle and cook for 60-90 seconds.
- Rinse the noodles in cold water and quickly blanch again in hot water for 10 seconds and drain.
- Add in some pak choy in the boiling water. Blanch the vegetables for 15-20 seconds and drain.
- Scoop spoon fulls of the sauce in a bowl and add the cooked noodles. Mix well to coat.
- Place noodle on serving plate. Top with veg and fried wontons.
- Serve with pickled green chilies and a bowl of soup if desired.
Notes
You may need to change water after cooking 2-3 portions of noodles (if water becomes too starchy).
Some people do not fry the chilli paste, instead they would mix all of the ingredients in a bowl and pour it over the noodles. I prefer to saute the chilli paste as it gives the sauce a better taste.
