This is a famous Cantonese Chinese snack, called 燒賣. Its found in virtually all chinese restaurants in south east asia. My version is different from the restaurant's chefs that i use ready made wanton wrappers to make. Considered as one of the top 3 famous dimsum, this is the easiest of the 3. The other 2 being the Prawn Dumpling (蝦餃) and Char Siew Bao (叉燒飽)
Ingredients

150g of mince meat
150g of prawns
150g of prawns
1 pack of wanton wrappers

*Optional - for added crunch, chop up 2 waterchestnut into small cubes and mix into the meat/prawns paste after blending
