Once they have been put together you can either fry them or steam them; both ways are delicious.

Ingredients

1 medium head cabbage, finely shredded
1 (300g) packet beansprouts
3 stalks celery, chopped
2 spring onions, chopped
400g (14 oz) prawns - peeled, deveined and coarsely chopped
500g (1 1/4 lb) lean mince
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
5 tablespoons soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 packet wonton skins (wrappers)
250ml (8 fl oz) vegetable oil

Preparation method

1. Place cabbage, beansprouts, celery and spring onions in a large wok and stir-fry over high heat until vegetables cook down (add a little water if necessary). Mix in prawns, stir fry until cooked.
2. In a large frying pan, brown the mince. Drain off fat and add the meat to the vegetable and prawn mixture. Continue to fry over a high heat; add oyster sauce, soy sauce and garlic. When well blended, remove mixture from heat.
3. Place a tablespoon of the meat and prawn mixture (or more, depending on how large your wonton wrappers are) into the centre of each wonton skin. Fold the wonton skin over to make a package of the meat mixture inside, and seal the skin closed by dipping your finger in a little water and pressing the ends together.
4. Fry the wontons in vegetable oil until golden brown.

    it was delicous but it was even more tasty with some asparagus thrown in.

    Tweak: DrKate Used different ingredients:

    I thought this was good, but I added a little flavour to it by adding some freshly grated root ginger. I also used minced pork instead of beef. Wrapping can be tough until you get the hang of it, but the taste is worth it.

    Review: canadiancook

    My husband is a prawn egg roll lover & I have a hard time finding them in the shop for him. But then I found this recipe on this site & he got very excited. He absolutely LOVED them. Next time we will make another batch & freeze some. Thank-you for this wonderful recipe from both my husband & me.

    Review: AlwaysCookin

    Taste was a little strong but with some adjusting would be very good. My biggest problem was rolling the egg rolls. They didn't roll very well & kind of came out square instead of round.
