I made these wontons last week for a party. They were big hit!!!
So, I'm doing a tutorial for it. Here's how.

1 lb groud pork
1 bundle cellophane noodle, soaked in warm water, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
4 green onion, chopped
1 egg
3 cloves garlic
5-7 cilantro roots (3-4 for big roots) OR 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sugar
1 pack wonton wrappers
 3 cups of oil for frying
Sweet & Sour sauce


 
Add cilantro root, garlic, and pepper in a motar and mince into paste.



In a mixing bowl, combine pork, cellophane noodles, carrot, onion, egg, garlic mixture, salt, and sugar together.


Mix well.

On a cutting board, arrange wonton wrapper 4-6 pieces at a time.
Fill the wrapper with 1 full teaspoon of filling.
Seal edges with water, and fold each wonton into triangular shape.


These are filled, wrapped, and ready to fry in medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown.

Taste it!!

Serve with sweet & sour sauce.

My First Post

Hello! My name is Pam. I'm very excited as this is my first post. I've been looking/reading many blogs lately, and got inspired. So, I decide to have my own blog :-)

I like making craft projects - quilting, sewing, jewelry making, etc.

This will be a place where I share some creative things I make with all of you.

Lately, I am into sewing. I found this website http://www.burdastyle.com/ about a month ago, and decided to try out charlie bag pattern. I'm really happy how the bags turn out. I've made several of them, and list these two bags on my Etsy shop.
