16 wonton wrappers

80g diced prawns
100g chicken mince

1/2 tsp sugar
1 clove garlic, minced

Mix all of the filling ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Place a tablespoon of the filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.
Place a small swipe of water around the edges of the wonton wrapper to seal it. Fold the wonton wrapper in half to get a triangular shape. On the long side of the triangle, make a few successive decorative folds at the top of the wonton wrapper.
Boil the wontons for 6 minutes. Pour the sesame sauce over top to serve and garnish with sliced spring onions.
