Won Ton and Chinese Chicken Salad Recipes


Ground Beef and Green Scallion Fried Won Tons

1 pckg ground beef
Several stocks of green scallions, chopped
Minced garlic
Salt
Pepper
Soy sauce
Tempura sauce
Nasoya Won Ton Wrappers
Little bowl with water and paintbrush for cooking
Vegetable or Olive Oil for frying

In a medium sized fry pan heat a bit of olive oil and add some minced garlic and chopped green scallions. Then add your ground beef…while cooking add salt and pepper and several shakes of the soy and tempura sauces to flavor the ground beef. Cook through and then set aside.

Create a workspace for yourself on the counter. Lay out your Won Ton Wrappers. Have your bowl of water and your paintbrush near by. Paint the outside edges of your first wrapper with water.  Then place a small teaspoon full of your cooked ground beef mixture in the middle. Fold one end of the wrapper towards the other end, creating a triangle like shape and press edges together to seal shut. Repeat this until wrappers and or filling are gone.

Take completed Beef filled Won Tons over to the stovetop. Heat vegetable or olive oil in a pan and then slowly place Won Tons inside to cook. Only takes a few minutes per side. Flip as they turn golden brown and once both sides have been cooked remove from pan and place on paper towel to drain and dry.

Dip in soy sauce once finished and serve with quick Chinese Chicken Salad…recipe below….

Quick Chinese Chicken Salad

Mixture of leafy greens
Shredded Chicken
Fried Noodle Sticks
Mandarin Oranges
Chopped Green Scallions
Soy Vay Toasted Sesame Dressing and Marinade

Place lettuce in a bowl and top with chicken, friend noodles, oranges and scallions. Pour dressing over the top and ta da…salad completed!

I like to make this dinner when I have already cooked a chicken before hand…then I can use the left over’s to shred over the salad making one less step of having to prepare the chicken.
