A terribly addictive Thai appetizer that magically disappears. A little time consuming to make, but worth every minute.

Ingredients:

8 ounces shrimp (peeled, deveined and minced)

2 1/2 ounces water chestnuts (chopped course)

4 green onions (white parts only, chopped)

2 lemongrass, centers (white parts only, chopped) (optional)

2 garlic cloves (chopped fine)

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon thai fish sauce

4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)

1 teaspoon red pepper paste

1/4 lime

24 wonton wrappers

2 cups oil (for frying)

2 tablespoons cornstarch

Directions:

1. Combine first nine ingredients.
2. Squeeze lime into other ingredients and combine.
3. Dust baking sheet with corn starch.
4. Place 3/4 tsp mixture in the center or a wonton wrapper and fold sides of squares upward to make little bags and crimp together at the top. Place on corn starched pan. Repeat for the remaining wrappers.
5. Heat oil in pan to 365ºF and fry “bags” in batches until golden and crispy.
6. Drain golden bags immediately on paper towels and serve hot with Thai dipping sauce for Spring rolls.
