What is for Lunch Today

[MEP]

I buy readymade wonton wrappers  from the Asian grocery. They're so cheap it's not worth making our own. I then use chicken mince, soy, sugar, shallots, bamboo shoots and shiitake mushrooms (last three ingredients all chopped finely). Mix together and start wrapping. I usually make bulk lot and freeze. Last time I made it I made about 60 I think.

Zucchini, carrot and dill muffins.

Thanks MEP. I want to try steamed wontons in the varoma but I don't cook much Asian food. I want to try rice paper rolls as well I'll try your recipe and Hally's too. Then I might be brave enough to make my own combination

[MEP]

I have never tried steaming them Amy. I always cook as a soup with just chicken stock. The website www.rasamalaysia.com  website is very good for Asian recipes. I always look there when I'm looking for an Asian recipe.

Good luck

Thanks for the link MEP

I thought steaming would be the healthiest option, but I will have to be careful not to dry them out. Mind you, cooking in chicken stock doesn't sound too bad either I'll try both!!

[MEP]

Agreed Amy. I steam dumplings and the bottom is sometimes soggy, but the top Has dried out. Hence I always make wonton soup.

I love wontons, spring rolls.

[Frozzie]

Amy im sure there is a laksa recipe in cindy omearas book?? Maybe someonewho as it can check.. I remember seeing it but my copy is in storage for the moment..

[Amy :-)]

Oh, I have that book Kim, I'll check it out Thanks!

Robyn, do you make your own wontons and spring rolls too?

MEP, thanks for the warning about soggy bottoms

[judydawn]

Mine probably isn't as healthy as Cindy's Amy but you could sub the coconut milk for the evaporated milk type.

[Amy :-)]

Thanks for that Judy! Some great reviews there, definitely a must-try

Amy, I make my own spring rolls, also buy the Mini spring rolls off a friend who has a barra farm.

Barra and vege spring rolls, or vegetarian spring rolls.

sometimes so easy to cook up for lunch, or if friends pop in for drinks.

love the mini size too.
