wontons, wine, conversation...

Laura and I (and fabulous Tiffany) hung out last saturday night, and had AWESOME salad from Ho Sum Bistro... I made baked wontons and we drank wine and talked about boys and jeans and jesus and heartache and life. it was wonderful.

here's the wonton recipe:

#1
in a small bowl, mix reduced fat cream cheese (about 1/2 the container), 4 diced green onions (about 3/4 up the green), 1/2 small can water chestnuts, diced, 2 tsp freshly grated ginger

mix well and put small amount (like a melon baller size) in the center of a wonton paper. use your finger to line edge of wonton paper with water. Fold in half like a triangle and press firmly to seal all edges. then. fold long end in half and seal ends with water (like a fortune cookie??) or you can fold them like daipers... just make sure they are sealed as the cheese can ooze....

#2)
in a medium pan, brown 1/2 lb. ground turkey. add 4 diced green onions, 1/2 can water chestnuts diced, 2 tsp fresh grated ginger, 1 tsp sweet chili sauce (sriracha or any other hot pepper sauce), sherry vinegar or rice vinegar, salt and pepper to taste.

repeat steps above to fold.

place gently on a greased cookie sheet.

bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes.

serve with your favorite asian dipping sauce....

yummmm.
