Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Heat a deep fryer or fill a deep skillet one-third full with sunflower oil and heat to 375°F. If you don't have a thermometer, you can check the temperature by dropping a piece of bread into the oil. At the right temperature, the bread will brown in about 40 seconds.
Step 2
In a blender, combine the shrimp, chopped green onions, chopped and seeded chili, peeled and chopped ginger root, and minced garlic. Add spices to taste. Blend for a few seconds until smooth.
Step 3
Fill the wonton wrappers with the mixture and brush the edges with egg white. Fold into triangles. Fry the wontons in the oil for 2–3 minutes until golden brown.
Step 4
Meanwhile, prepare the chili jam. In a blender, combine the chopped, seeded chili, chopped green onions, grated ginger root, sesame seeds, sesame oil, soy sauce, and honey. Squeeze in the lime juice. Blend until smooth.
Step 5
Place the wontons on a kitchen towel to absorb excess oil. Arrange on serving plates. Serve the jam in a sauce boat. Garnish with coriander and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
