What's for tea tonight? (pt3)

[sheothebudworths]

Anyway - mine are not all prepared and heo's got a pan of water on, so I'm off to cook them now and then stuff myself stupid.

 

[mrsfran]

Sheo - gyoza and wonton wrappers are defrosting as we speak

 

[sheothebudworths]

Woohoooo!!!




There's also a very nice recipe for wonton filling in that book if you need it cos there's no way you and Alex will eat 50 in one sitting!

I had 10 last night and was stuffed...heo had 15... and as I said, even half that amount would do in a broth with extra veg.

So you could just make up half of the pork mince recipe I posted, do 25 today (plenty, plenty, plenty!) and save the other half of the wrappers for wonton soup?




Or cook the lot and try out the deep frying thing for me tomorrow!



Anyway, whatever you decide to do - hope you like 'em!






We're having heo's spicy turkey burgers in pitta with salad and plot corn on the cob (which is nearly finished now ).

And the other half of the treacle tart!

They sound grand Sheo. May have to make up a batch shortly. Can't beat dumplings of all varieties

May be worth making up a batch of wontons for soup at the same time. Much the same recipe, but you can twist the wonton sheets into a slightly different shape - fill and then fold over into a slightly unequal triangle (you want a bit of loose pastry around one edge of the triangle) and then twist the peak to seal into a wonton ball.

Filling's much the same too - swap chopped water chestnuts for the pak choi and maybe put in a chilli, chopped prawns and more spring onion. Dump to cook in chicken stock, along with some pak choi towards the end of cooking, and that's pretty much wonton soup.

 

[mrsfran]

I'm doing them tomorrow rather than today. I probably will do 1/2 quantity

Although I think they'll probably freeze uncooked, won't they?

 

[tarannau]

Can't see why they wouldn't. Onions and chives tend to get a little more bitter when they defrost for some reason though.

If you're near a decent sized Oriental superstore they generally sell fresh/unfrozen wonton leaves as well, which at least means that you don't have to make/eat a whole packet's wort at once.

somethun involving chorizo. was planning tapas but not sure if i can really be bothered

 

[aqua]

the remains of last nights 3 bean chilli

we had a fab lunch too so it won't be for a while yet going to have it with roast baby new spuds that need eating up

I'm in on my own tonight and I'm bored already this doesn't bode well does it

 

[mrsfran]

I've had (already! Going out tonight...) chicken drumsticks in yakitori sauce and noodles stir-fried with carrots, onions and red peppers. It was alright, nothing special.
