They who know the truth are not so great as they who love it; and they who love the truth are not so great as they who live it.
Chinese Proverb
House of Rice Won Ton's
1 package won ton skins (approx. 55)
1 lb ground pork
1 egg, beaten
1 small can of water chestnuts, minced
1 teaspoon grated ginger root
2 green onions, chopped
2 teaspoons salt
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
Mix together the pork, egg, water chestnuts, ginger, onions, salt and soy sauce. Place about 2 teaspoons of the pork mixture in the middle of a wrapper. Moisten top two edges of wrapper with daubs of water. Bring the bottom up and fold into a triangle. Then bring the two “arms” of the triangle together and seal tightly with a dab of water. Do this for all the won tons. Deep-fry the prepared won tons in hot oil until golden brown. It should take about 60 seconds to insure cooked pork. Serve warm with sweet and sour sauce.
Sweet and Sour Sauce
2 Tablespoons cornstarch
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup rice vinegar
½ teaspoon Chinese bead molasses
2/3 cup sugar
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
Dissolve cornstarch in water. Add remaining ingredients and stir well. Place over medium high heat and boil until it thickens.
Chinese Proverb
They no longer offer it, but many years ago I enjoyed taking cooking classes at the House of Rice. My first class was when I was 2 months pregnant with Casey. How excited I was!! Our teacher was Chau Liaw, and she made these Won Ton's. Everyone in the class kept passing me the extras saying eat, eat, you'll make a strong baby. Well, they were right!!
