Ingredients

• 30 raw shrimp, large
• 1 egg
• 2 teaspoons ginger, fresh, grated
• 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 cup broccoli, slaw chopped
• 1/4 cup celery, diced
• 2 tablespoons red onions, diced
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
• 20 garlic-flavored croutons, crushed into crumbs
• 2 tablespoons wheat germ
• 2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground pepper, to taste
• 50 wonton wrappers
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil, for frying

Recipe

• 1 make sure shrimp are veined and cleaned, remove all shells; chop the shrimp meat up. mix together first 10 ingredients (shrimp through garlic powder) to make a shrimp marinade. remember to dice the shrimp up small as this will make packing the won-tons easier. marinade for about 30 minutes.
• 2 mix together the next 9 ingredients (broccoli-slaw through pepper) to create the slaw mix. broccoli-slaw comes shredded but remember to chop it up smaller; also really dice the onions, celery and croutons (crushed) up so they will be easy to pack into the won-tons.
• 3 after the shrimp has marinaded for 30 minutes mix both shrimp and slaw bowls together. stir.
• 4 lay out the won-tons and carefully spoon a little of the stuffing mixture into each wrapper, about 1/2 tablespoon per won-ton. don't over stuff them. brush all of the the won-ton edges with water or egg to seal them. fold square wrapper into a triangle and carefully press the edges. now pull the bottom 2 forks together to finish the won-ton (there are directions on folding inside most won-ton packaging). make sure the edges are not open or leaking stuffing or the won-ton will fall apart while cooking. set aside rare won-tons on a plate as you finish folding the other wrappers, they will stiffen up and be easier to handle in a few minutes.
• 5 heat oil on med high in a large pan. fry batches of won-tons in oil for about 2 minute per side, you will see them brown up, flip to the other side and remove when done. dry the won-tons on paper towels. serve warm.
