Thai Golden Bags

Description

Back at it again with some simple, but absolutely delicious appetizer. There are many different types of Thai appetizers, however, the one that I relish has to be one of these golden bags. I truly love the taste of this appetizer. Even though it only has two flavors which are saltiness and a little hint of sourness, I can easily eat it beyond an extent. A side of sweet and sour greatly complements this appetizer. This particular appetizer relies on a lot less on distinct flavors of Thai ingredients, as a matter of fact, it's actually quite flexible, and therefore I think that it can stand up to a a lot of substitutions. In addition, these appealing and mouthwatering golden bags make the perfect party appetizers.They are extremely cute and kids love them. Thank for your support, tune in for more.

1. Chop up shrimp and mix with ground pork, mushrooms, garlic, green onions, mushroom soy sauce, and black pepper.
2. Scoop a teaspoonful of mixture onto the wrapper.
3. Pull the edges up and pinch to close making a little bag. Repeat until all the mixture is used up. (Optional: Tie with a chive (be sure to knot it twice so it doesn’t come apart). If you are using green onions, place them in boiling water for 20 seconds to make more pliable. Cut each green onion into 3-5 thin strips lengthwise and tie around the bags.)
