Wonton Warrior Shines Once Again

As you know, I have been having lots of fun experimenting with wontons.  Most of mine have been dessert wontons although, I have made dairy and fish also.  This one is meat - yes meat.  Cutting down on meat, does not mean, we are not having beef wontons.

Baked Beef Wontons



Crispy Beef Wontons   -
Adapted from Taste of Home’s Fast Family Favorites
Ingredients:

4-1/2 cups finely chopped cooked beef

3/4 cup shredded carrot

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon and 1-1/2 teaspoons water

1 tablespoon and 1-1/2

teaspoons soy sauce

1-1/2 teaspoons ground ginger

30 – 40 wonton wrappers

3 tablespoons margarine, melted

1 tablespoon and 1-1/2 teaspoons canola oil

Plum or sweet-sour sauce

Method:

 

In a bowl, combine chopped beef and carrot .

In another bowl, combine cornstarch, water, soy sauce and ginger until smooth. Add to beef mixture; toss to coat.

Spoon 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten edges with water. Bring opposite points together; pinch to seal.  Place on greased baking sheets. Combine butter and oil; brush over wontons. 

 

Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with plum or sweet-sour sauce.

** I made some in oil in a skillet.  These browned better than the baked and were generally softer but they were oily.

Three cheers for Wonton Warrior!

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
