Turkey-stuffed Wonton Noodle Pastry with Red Oil Dressing

For Mr Lee’s Vegan “Fish” Sauce

Simply place all the ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and mix together until well combined. This will keep for a week in the fridge.

For Mr Lee’s Red Chilli Oil

Place the chilli flakes, paprika, five-spice powder and salt in a heatproof bowl and mix well.

Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan over a medium heat until hot, but don’t let it boil. Remove from the heat and pour the oil into the bowl with the dried ingredients. Stir, then leave to cool for 5 minutes, and it’s ready to use. It will keep for a month in a sterilised jar.

For the wontons

In a bowl, mix together all the filling ingredients. Use your hands to really squish it all together.

Prepare your work surface by dusting it with flour. Lightly whisk the egg yolk in a small cup. Separate the sheets of wonton pastry on to the floured surface and cover with a damp cloth or a plastic bag.

Lay a sheet of pastry in the palm of your hand and place a teaspoon of the filling mixture in the centre. Brush the whisked egg yolk on to one corner of the pastry, then fold the pastry from the opposite corner to form a triangle, squeezing lightly to seal. Put a bit more egg on to the two newly formed corners and fold these corners together, squeezing them together with your finger and thumb, under the chin of the dumpling and forming a tortellini-like shape. You’ve made your first wonton! First, allow yourself a little victory lap around the kitchen, then back to work. These wontons aren’t going to make themselves.

Place the filled wonton on the floured surface, and repeat with the next wonton wrapper. Keep going until you’ve used up all the filling. If you want to freeze your wontons, lay them on a floured tray or in a wide container, then cover and place in the freezer. Once they’ve frozen, they can be bagged together.

To cook the wontons, half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water and place it over a high heat. Bring it to a rolling boil, then carefully put in your wontons into the water and let them bobble about for around 4 minutes. Gently lift the wontons from the water using a slotted spoon and lay in a large bowl or plate. Drizzle with red chilli oil and serve immediately.
