Makes: 30

Ingredients:

30 wonton wrappers
250g chicken mince
3/4 cup wombok, finely shredded
3 spring onions, finely shredded
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
1cm fresh ginger, finely grated
1 stalk lemongrass, white stalk only finely chopped
2 tablespoons shredded fresh coriander
2 tablespoons shredded Asian Basil

1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
2 scoops (60g) pure protein powder

Method:

Place the wombok in a bowl of boiling water for 1-2 minutes, drain while squeezing out excess liquid then pat dry with paper towel.
Place all ingredients except the wonton wrappers into a mixing bowl and massage through your fingertips until well combined.
On a clean dry service place a wonton wrapper
Dip your fingertip in a cup of water and dampen two edges of wonton wrapper in a L shape
Place a heaped teaspoon (approximately 20g) into the middle of the wrapper
Fold the wrapper over to form a triangle, press down one edge to seal the wonton with about 1/2-3/4cm seal
Use your fingertip to push in the filling and comfortably seal the other side
Dampen each of the points of the triangle and wrap them across each other to form a large tortellini shape
Repeat with all the mixture
To cook your dumplings:
Steam, place in a bamboo steamer and steam for 10 minutes
