RECIPES - Won Tons -- teaching Kay to make my verison of Korean won tons

Tonight, I wanted to show Kay how to make my won tons. I went over all the ingredients necessary and she helped me with the mixture. After letting it marinade for a couple hours, Kay rolled each won ton -- a task that she's done many times.

RECIPE: WON TONS - my Korean way that I've been making for years

Ingredients:

• 1 lb of lean ground beef
• 1/2 finely chopped onion
• 3 green onions - finely chopped
• 1 tsp sugar
• 3 tsp gluten free soy sauce (or regular soy sauce) -- I prefer Kikoman
• 2 cloves of garlic - freshly pressed 
• dash of salt  
• and a package of won ton skins 

 

Mix all ingredients. Put into a ziploc bag and marinade in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Prepare area to roll won tons and get a dish of water to seal won tons. Scoop half a teaspoon of ground beef mixture into the middle and fold across (like a triangle). Repeat.

Deep fry until golden brown.

I serve my won tons with a Guamanian finedene (recipe below). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finadene

RECIPE: SAUCE: Guamanian Finadene (my version)

• 3/4 cup Gluten free soy sauce - I use Kikoman's
• chopped onions - about 1/4 of an onion
• lemon - 1 freshly squeezed 
• 1 diced, roasted and chopped -- jalapeno, habanero or serrano peppers - whatever you have on hand -- I prefer habanero (use caution when chopping -- use gloves if needed)
• red chili flakes - a couple dashes

Mix all ingredients together. Adjust to your taste or hotness. 

Note: this is not a gluten free food

Gluten Free - Kay's Review

Snyder's Gluten Free Mini Pretzels

Kay has been asking about pretzels lately and I was glad to see this new product in the grocery store. Normally, I try to conceal the fact that they are gluten free before giving them to her. This way, she doesn't automatically say "yuck". This time I just handed her the bag and she said "oh, gluten free... they are going to taste like cardboard." She was pleasantly surprised how good they tasted. She said they did not taste like cardboard and were crispy and good.

I also tasted them and they were very crispy and not too salty. The texture was almost cracker like. I loved them and would definitely buy them again.

REVIEW: KAY APPROVED
