== Directions ==
# Place vinegar and sugar in a medium-sized heavy-based saucepan and bring to the oil.
# Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 15 minutes or until liquid is reduced by almost half and slightly syrupy.
# Remove from stove, stir in fish sauce and chillies and set aside.
# For the wontons, peel and de-vein prawns, then dice prawn meat– you should have about 150 g (5 oz) diced prawn meat.
# Combine prawn meat and remaining ingredients, except wonton wrappers, in a bowl, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
# Next fill and shape the wontons.
# Heat oil in a hot wok until surface seems to shimmer slightly.
# Add wontons in batches and deep-fry for about 2 minutes or until just cooked through and lightly browned.
# To test the wontons you will need to remove one using a slotted spoon and cut it through with a sharp knife to see if the prawns are just cooked through.
# Remove wontons with a slotted spoon and drain well on kitchen paper.
# Repeat process with remaining wontons.
# Arrange wontons on a platter and serve immediately with a bowl of sweet chilli dipping sauce.
