Cantonese Shrimp & Pork Dumplings/ Wontons 港式鮮蝦豬肉雲吞
This is one of the most classic, popular and delicious Hong Kong food – Shrimp dumplings (wontons). You can find many Chinese noodles shops in Hong Kong that sell these shrimp wontons with noodles. They are so delicious and nowhere you can find better wontons but Hong Kong.
Every household has their own wontons recipe, so I share mine that is actually my mum’s recipe. I love to sit there and wrap a lot of wontons (maybe 60 pieces) , then I can freeze it for my quick meal. So easy to make, add some black fungus can give an extra texture. Hope you enjoy it too!
