a table spoon of grated ginger

1 clove of grated garlic

1 tbsp light soy sauce

a dash of white pepper

1 tsp of corn starch for binding

1 pack wonton skins

optional:

finely chopped carrots (portion as much or little as desired)

finely chopped red chili with out the seeds. (also as desired)


-> just add in all the ingredients together, put on the wonton skin and wrap it as you will...

i hope that it turned out great...
a friend of mine told me that the key to dumplings filling is the corn starch...one should not put too much of it or you'll lost all the wonderful meat texture & taste.

it turned out pretty good! my daughter couldn't get enough of it. Been asking me to make more 'kuantan' for her :) thanks lynn!

oh good to know...cute lah your daughter "wantan kuantan"...

for variation, the same filling but you can roll it into glutinous rice then steam it, you'll have chicken ball with glutinous rice and its very filling
