    Method

    • step 1

      Mix the filling: put pork mince and dried shallot flakes in a bowl and mix them well and then season the filling with salt and white pepper powder.
    • step 2

      Make the calla: (the most difficult part of the dish)
    • step 3

      a. Take one piece of square won ton pastry; spread the filling flat on the pastry
    • step 4

      b. Fold the pastry in a triangle shape; place the tip of the triangle upright and place the head of the asparagus spear in the centre of the triangle won ton.
    • step 5

      c. Fold the left side to the right and then fold the right side to the left, wrapping around the asparagus stalk; fix the peaks on the back side (if needed, use some water to glue the pastry)
    • step 6

      Mix the dipping sauce: simply put ingredients all together and mix well.
    • step 7

      Put the calla won ton in a pot of boiling water and with medium heat cook for around 3 minutes or less. (donâÂÂt over cook them, the pastry softens very quickly)
