It's definitely a lot easier at school with more people in our groups doing stuff - but the kitchen is SO crowded. There's no room whatsoever. But anyway! Everything went out on time and was good today, YAY! I made Seafood Stuffed Won-tons with Apricot Sauce today, oh man they were soooo good. Very awesome hors d'eouvres (did I spell that right?). I stole this picture from somebody (ha =]) because I didn't have time to take one at school, but that's what they looked like!
Seafood Stuffed Won-tons with Apricot Sauce
Makes 24 Pieces
8 oz. cream cheese
4 oz. crab meat (I only had surimi), chopped
4 oz. shrimp, peeled, deveined, and diced
1 tsp. garlic, chopped
1 oz. green onions
2-3 oz. red peppers, very small dice
Salt and Pepper (to taste)
Worcestershire (to taste)
Sesame Oil (to taste)
24 won-ton skins
Apricot Sauce (as needed)
Mix cream cheese in a mixer until soft and creamy. Mix in crab, shrimp, garlic, green onions, red peppers, and season to taste with remaining seasonings.
Lay out a couple of won-ton wrappers at a time, and brush water around all four edges. Put a tablespoon (more or less depending on size of wrappers) in the middle of the wrappers, and pull one corner down to the opposite corner to make it into a triangle. Press out any air bubbles and seal the won-ton firmly.
Deep fry at 350 degrees until brown and temps at 145 degrees. Flip them with tongs so that one side doesn't get cooked more than the other. They cook really fast! Should only take a minute or two per side.
Apricot Sauce
Makes 8 oz.
8 oz. apricot Preserves
1 tbsp. fresh ginger, grated (may not need to use all of it, start with a small amount)
1 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 fl oz. red wine vinegar
Mix all in a saucepan on low-med heat until flavors blend. Serve warm or cold.
They sold pretty well today, and everyone liked them (I loooove them). Definitely going to make them again. Hopefully the first quarters will take initiative and do some stuff tomorrow....... We'll see!
Off to do some homework.... =]
