Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly. We know Paella Negra takes a long time to prepare, which is why Mom Violy had requested it to be cooked beforehand. She wanted it as her main meal, but because of the mix-up and feeling hungry, she took a piece of Carmina’s Turkey Club Sandwich and asked for the bacon on the side. I didn’t expect the turkey to be just one piece, and the bread was toasted so hard that it removed one layer of the sandwich. Since ...
Carmina wanted to make her own home-made wonton, but it turns out to be the same lumpia shanghai recipe of Manang V. Only difference my ingredients I added became my own special recipe.
The green onion I had growing in my window used some of it cutting the tips.
I also purchased half kilo fresh shrimp known to use for tempura at Farmers Market.
I couldn't believe the prices of food now realizing I use to live someone's home not fully paying my groceries.
Now, I can relate to my family and friends who has always complained about the expenses they have weekly on food.
We learn to start budget what we can only afford.
One reason I wanted to make my own dumplings having it stocked up in my freezer.
Those days I wanted to just eat soup or fried wanton I can just cook it at home.
Carmina's Special Dumpling Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1/2 Kilo Fresh Shrimp (remove shell, head and clean it)
- 1 - Pack of Molo Wrapper
- 1/2 Kilo Ground Pork
- 1 - Carrot (grated)
- 1/2 Cup Green Onions (chopped)
- Black Pepper (season to taste)
- Salt (season to taste)
- MSG (season to taste)
- 1 Tbsp. - Oyster Sauce
- 1 Egg (beaten)
- 1 Garlic bulb (minced)
The hardest work is when you are cleaning the shrimp because you will remove the shells, head (save it and place in the freezer) and the guts inside on both ends.
We will use a food processor to make portion smaller. I didn't want to use a knife too many when you're doing it alone.
I did the same with the carrot and garlic.
Simple way to get everything done.
Add all ingredients together mixing well place inside a plastic container make sure you test a sample by frying some pieces to see if the taste is alright before you just wrapping each one.
I used a half teaspoon of filling inside each molo wrapper and sealed it with just water.
Storing in Freezer:
Make sure you have a plastic container and having wax paper after each layer or can use what you have in your home.
There are ways you can cook your wonton deep drying to eat it with ketchup or sweet chili sauce with some rice.
Other people add it to a soup base just like what I made recently using instant ramen for my lunch.
All depends on your mood how you feel like eating your wonton.
