@KikyoChanXD try some Tofutti cream cheese with chopped jalapeños and then after they're fried dip them in sweet and sour sauce... yummmm!

53K hits! You need to put up more vids--and I've got a great idea. I used to go to a Taiwanese restaurant near Chicago, it was actually in a mini-mall of Chinese restaurants. This place made a great bow, but it wasn't a wheat dough bow, it was more like a glutenous rice wrapper. After steaming they would take scissors and cut a cross into the top, open it up a bit, then put a thin soy based sauce over it. It was amazing.

With parents from Taiwan I figure you might know of this bow.

@KikyoChanXD I dont like calling anything vegetarian fake meat.. Its just vegetables, soy, tofu, veggies, cream cheese, you can use anything that tastes good as a filling.

[BeingBeverly]

So cool! Thanks!

@KikyoChanXD I've never tried fake meat but I'm sure it would be a fine substitute. Since fake meat is already cooked, you don't have to boil the wontons as long. Just enough to get it heated up all the way through.

Hi everyone, I haven't been very active lately but was thinking of putting up some more HOW TO videos. Any Chinese recipes you're interested in seeing?

[Peppercornification]

@mooncakefactory General Tso’s Chicken, Moo Shu Pork or chinese braised beef! :D

[Bishop146]

@mooncakefactory: Wonton soup

[mooncakefactory]

I usually get a brand called Xin Xiang Gang (New Hong Kong). There's a picture of a ship on the wrapper. Definitely avoid thin wrappers. If they don't break when you're wrapping them, they'll break when you boil the wontons. Plus I don't think they taste as good.

[longfade]

What thickness are your won ton wrappers? I went for the thin ones recently and had some issues with them tearing.

Thanks for the great vid!

Thank you for the nice and simple clear instructions. I got lazy over the years and just scoop a teaspoon in the middle then squish it like a badmington shuttle cock. I will give this a go.
