Fried Shrimp Wonton and Fried Tofu

Fried Shrimp Wonton

Lunch was simply fried shrimp wonton and fried tofu today. We slept in today as it has been a long while that we have not done so. But still, we got out of bed at about ten in the morning and straight into the kitchen to start preparing for brunch. Last night before going to bed, I have already marinated some shrimps with a mix of fish paste and ground pork. I simply added oyster flavoured sauce and sesame seed oil to the paste and mixed everything evenly.

Then, I left the paste in the fridge overnight. This morning, I used the paste as stuffings for the wonton. Once I have wrapped all the wonton, I immediately fried them in a pot of hot canola cooking oil. We enjoy eating fried wonton, especially the ones we home cook because we could have more. When dine out, we only get a few in a plate. Besides that, fried wonton is not that difficult to prepare. All that are needed would be shrimps, fish paste and ground pork.

Fried Tofus

The same paste can also be used to stuff tofu puffs and vegetables. Just like making the Hakka yong tau foo. Basically using the same home blend sauce of oyster flavoured sauce and sesame seed oil. For lunch this morning, we did exactly that. We had both the fried wonton and stuffed tofu puffs because there were some leftover shrimp-fish-ground pork paste. And since we were had the pot of cooking oil, we added fried tofus to the menu.
