Fried wonton noodles

My family loves fried wontons. We would usually eat about 6-7 wontons per person! We also love the chewy hong kong style noodles to go along with it. You can use spinach noodles as well! In this recipe, I used a variety of condiments to make my noodle sauce and it's very successful!

1 pack of Round Wonton wrappers
2 beaten egg yolks to seal wontons
Fillings and marinate:
500g Minced meat
4 Diced chestnuts
100g Diced prawns
1 1/2tablespoon light soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
3 teaspoons of corn starch
2 egg whites
A dash of pepper

Fortune brand hong kong style noodles
1 bowl of water with ice.
1 big metal sieve
Noodle sauce for 5 persons (to prepare in advance):
5 tablespoon shallot oil( pan fry shallots on low heat till fragrant to get shallot oil)
2 tablespoon light soy sauce
2 teaspoon oyster sauce
2 teaspoon dark soy sauce
2 teaspoon sesame oil
50ml of warm water
Please taste it and adjust accordingly.
Optional:
AAA brand crispy prawn chili
Scalded Kailan or other vegetables
to your liking.

1. Combine wonton fillings and marinate at least 1 hour.
2. Seal wontons and set aside.
3. Deep fry at 140-160 deg Celsius. Flip to ensure both surfaces are fried well. It took about 2-3 minutes for 7 wontons.
4. Drain oil well and set aside.
5. Loosen a clump of noodles (1 serving) so that the strands doesn't stick.
6. In boiling water, place noodles and use chopsticks to continuously stir for 30 seconds. Turn down to low heat to prevent water overflowing due to reaction with noodles.
7. After 30 seconds, sieve the noodles and stir noodles in icy water for 5 seconds before placing back in hot water for 5 seconds and drain.
8. Place 3 tablespoons of sauce (and chili if needed) and toss the noodles well.
9. Add vegetables and fried wontons and you are ready to dig in!

Soup dumplings option:
Place dumplings in boiling water for 3 minutes or until cooked. :)
