Pork and Bok Choy Stir Fry

After a week of being away for training my hubby finally got home last night.  We were very happy to have him back home, most of the time he is gone for months at a time but this time thank God was very short.  One of his favorite dishes is pork and bok choy stir fry, the first time he ate it was when we first met and my mother had us over for dinner.  I still remember it like it was yesterday...it was too funny he did not want to try it, he saw to many greens and was not used to eating different kinds of food.  But now is one of his favorite dishes, I have to say that now he is not afraid to try any kind of food.  Well I leave you with this delicious recipe and I hope you enjoy it as much as he does.

Fried Pork Wontons

I have to say that one of my favorite food is Chinese, and I have learned through out the years to cook some of my favorite dishes.  Fried wontons are one of my favorite dishes, they are just so addicting, once you have one you keep on eating more and more, and before you know it you have eaten about 15 of them,  yup that happens to me all the time.  The best part is that you can fill them with chicken, shrimp, vegetables and my favorite, pork.  My recipe is very simple, and the only thing that is time consuming is folding the wonton wraps, making the filling and frying them is fast and easy.  I hope you guys enjoy them as much as my family does.

Preparation:
1. In a small bowl combine all ingredients.

2.  Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of the wrapper.

3.  Grab a small bowl with water and dip your finger into the bowl of water and run your finger along the edges of the wrapper. Fold bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling  and press all edges to close the wrapper, you’ll have a triangle.

Note:When making these use a damp paper towel to cover the wonton wrappers, otherwise they may dry out before you have a chance to fill them.
