Salmon Won Tons With Ginger Red Vinegar Dipping Sauce Recipes

SALMON WONTONS

Steps:

• Clean bones and skin from salmon, if necessary. In a medium bowl, combine salmon, carrot, scallions, sprouts, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic, and toss together until crumbly.
• Heat oil for deep-frying over medium to medium-high heat.
• Moisten the edges of a wonton wrapper with a few drops of water, and drop about 1 teaspoon of the salmon filling on the center. Fold the wonton wrapper diagonally to make a triangle, and press down on the edges to seal. (Fill about 15 wontons at a time, keeping the unused wrappers covered to prevent them from drying out.)
• Deep-fry in hot oil on one side; then flip over and fry on the other side until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Drain on brown paper bags or paper towels, and serve hot with dipping sauce.
• Dipping sauce: sweet-and-sour sauce, plum sauce, or a combination of 1 cup duck sauce, 1 to 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon hoisin sauce, and a dash of chili oil.

GINGER SAUCE FOR SALMON

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in heavy small saucepan over medium-high heat; add ginger and shallots. Saute until soft, about 5 minutes.
• Add wine and vinegar and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until reduced to 1/3 cup, about 8 minutes. Strain.
• Boil cream in heavy medium saucepan until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Stir into wine mixture. Simmer sauce until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
• Remove from heat. Add remaining butter and whisk just until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
• Spoon over cooked salmon fillets.

SALMON WON TONS WITH GINGER & RED VINEGAR DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the dipping sauce, place the ginger in a small heatproof bowl, cover with boiling water and leave to soften for 1 minute, drain well and place in a small serving bowl along with the vinegar and sugar. Stir to dissolve the sugar, then set aside.
• Dissolve the cornflour in 2 teaspoons cold water, stirring to form a paste.
• Cut the salmon into 1cm-wide strips (just under 1/2-inch strips) that are 6cm in length (about 2 1/2 inch). Place a salmon piece on each won ton wrapper and top with a couple of slices of green shallot. Season with a little salt and freshly ground black pepper. Brush around the edges of the won tons with some of the cornflour mixture. Fold each of the won tons over to enclose the salmon, forming a small rectangle. Press to seal the edges, pressing out any air as you do do so. The won tons can be stored in the fridge at this stage until you are ready to cook them.
• One third fill a wok with the oil over a high heat and once the surface starts to shimmer add half the won tons and cook for about 30 seconds or until dark golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels while cooking the remaining won tons.
• Garnish with herbs and serve immediately with the red vinegar dipping sauce.
