small pieces.
Shell, devein and wash prawns. Chop into very small
pieces
Peel and crush water chestnuts with the flat side of
the cleaver. If you don't have a cleaver, chop the

With one corner of the skin toward you, place 1
teaspoon of filling about an inch from the corner.
Fold one corner to cover the filling.
Told once more...about 3/4 inch.
Turn the won ton so that the triangel is toward you.
Dampen the left corner with a little water.
Swing the right corner away from you and place it on
top of the dampened left corner. As you make this
fold, simultaneously pull the filling toward you with
your middle finger. You should finish with a little
"hat-like" effect.
