The above photo is the finished project I did with the kiddies in my life. They colored in the pictures and mailed them to me. Phil and I really enjoyed getting them in the mail. It's a fun way to keep in touch.
Phil and I did a lot of celebrating this weekend. There were many events. This includes a super bowl party, of course. I made a pretty sweet appetizer that everyone loved. I'm sharing the recipe here:
MU SHU WONTON CUPS
INGREDIENTS:
24 wonton wrappers (in produce section of supermarket)
cooking spray
2 T. hoisin sauce
1 Cup diced chicken (or pork, tofu, whatever)
4 T. soy sauce, divided
3 T. water
1 T. sugar
1 T. toasted sesame oil
2 t. cornstarch
2 t. vegetable oil
3/4 Cup shredded carrot
3/4 Cup tiny chopped red bell pepper
3/4 Cup scallions (green onion)
extra scallions and sesame seeds for garnish
DIRECTIONS:
PREHEAT oven to 400 degrees.
SPRAY both sides of wonton wrappers with cooking spray. Tuck into muffin cups. (either mini muffin cups or regular sized) Bake 6-8 minutes, until golden.
MIX chicken (or whatever) with 2 T. hoisin sauce and 1 T. soy sauce. Set aside. In another bowl whisk 3 T. soy sauce, water, sugar, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Set aside.
HEAT oil in a skillet over med-high, add red pepper, carrot, and green onion. Cook 3 minutes, then add sauce mixture. Simmer until sauce thickens, about 1 minute. Add meat and hoisin sauce mixture. Simmer 1 minute more. Remove from heat.
FILL wonton cups with skillet mixture.
GARNISH with green onion and sesame seeds.
Enjoy!
