prawn filling
Place all the ingredients in an electric stand mixer fitted with the dough hook and knead for 10 minutes.
(The dough hook binds the ingredients together without turning the mixture into a purée, which a blender would do.)
Remove from the mixer and refrigerate until ready to use. Clean the mixer.
service
Use readymade wonton wraps, wrap and deep fry for four minutes.
Sweet chilli sauce (one of the really brightly coloured varieties as a mark of respect to the neon takeaway versions!), to serve.
