Ingredients

  • 5 ounces scallops
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 10 ounces lobster meat, chopped, or crab meat
  • 2 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons minced onion
  • 1 green onion, finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons dry white wine
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons brandy
  • 28 won-ton squares
  • 18 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg mixed with 1 teaspoon water
  • Lemon-grass butter sauce (recipe follows)

Method

  • Puree the scallops, and set aside.
  • In a teaspoon of oil, saute the lobster meat or crab meat with garlic, onion, green onion and cilantro until just hot.
  • Add white wine and brandy, and stir.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Add the scallop puree, and mix well to bind together the filling ingredients.
  • Season with salt.
  • Divide the filling into 14 equal portions, and place one portion in the center of a won-ton skin.
  • Repeat until all the filling is used.
  • Brush the edges of the won ton with egg wash, and place the remaining won tons on top of those with the filling, pressing the sides down firmly to seal.
  • At this point, the won tons may be covered and refrigerated.
  • To serve, bring water to boil in large pot, add salt and 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and gently add the won ton; boil for 2 minutes.
  • Drain and serve with lemon-grass butter sauce.
