Just made this recipe.. And it was A-mazing!! I ended up with 26 n my husband n son were hovering eating them as i pulled them off the heat. They both say the burnt tongues are worth it lol. I worked in a Chinese restaurant for a year n could never get the chef to share his recipe with me but these are sooooo much better than his. I also made my own steamer with a saucepan, plate n some balls of tin foil.

We made this for dinner as part of the Pick-a-Chef 2011. Very nice flavours, although we missed the part of the method that said to use a DAMP tea towel. We used a dry one, which we think may have caused the wonton wrappers to end up being a bit dry around the edges. We used Chiangs Ponzu Sauce as a dipping sauce which went with it very well.
