Every time family gathers, the request is the same: bring back the irresistible taste of 7D Dried Mangoes from Cebu City, a tropical delight that never fails to impress.

Carmina will be traveling for the summer, and many people who haven’t been to the Philippines have asked for dried mangoes. Since we live here, we already know which brands taste just right, so the fun part is exploring to find the best deals. Carmina discovered  EM Shop  TikTok online shopping, 7D Dried Mango is being sold for 99.00 pesos per 100-gram pack. I asked about the expiration date and was told it would be in 2027. I purchased ten pieces, which arrived in a box secured with bubble wrap. Most of us prefer shopping online to save on gasoline costs, and the reasonable shipping fees make it easy on the wallet.

Carmina's Special Wonton Recipe

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. 

Wrapping:

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.
