1

Place the mince, prawn, shallot, water chestnuts, soy sauce, egg white, sesame oil and white pepper in the bowl of a food processor and process until just combined.

2

Place the wonton wrappers on a clean work surface. Spoon 1 heaped teaspoonful of mince mixture into the centre of each wrapper. Brush the edges with a little water. Firmly pinch the edges together to enclose the filling.

3

Add enough vegetable oil to a large saucepan to reach a depth of 10cm. Heat to 180°C over high heat (when the oil is ready a cube of bread will turn golden brown in 15 seconds). Add 6 dumplings and cook for 4 minutes or until golden. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Repeat, in 2 more batches, with remaining dumplings, reheating the oil between batches. Serve with sweet chilli sauce.
