Braised Abalone

These crispy, savory wontons are a mouthwatering delight, packed with seasoned minced meat and pan-fried to golden perfection before being simmered in a rich, aromatic sauce. The minced meat is marinated with cooking wine, white pepper, light soy sauce, and cornstarch for a tender, flavorful filling. Wrapped in delicate wonton or spring roll wrappers, each piece is fried until crispy, then braised in a fragrant blend of ginger, scallions, soy sauces, sugar, and warm spices like cinnamon and star anise. The result? A perfect balance of crispy texture and deep, savory-sweet flavors with a hint of spice. Ideal as an appetizer or main dish, these wontons are a must-try for anyone who loves bold, comforting flavors. Serve them hot for an unforgettable meal that’s crispy, juicy, and bursting with umami goodness!
