A Chinese Delicacy - DIY Style

This was supposed to be posted probably 6 months back ago, few days prior to the year of Ox (aka Chinese New Year 2009). 

Anyways, it's food-related, who cares? Haha! We came up with the idea of doing Chicken Floss Fried Wantons ala homemade style, instead of buying it from outside. Recession and tough times ahead mah... what to do? 

A small-size container of these fried wantons would probably cost you about RM20 to 25 out there nowadays. Plus, some sellers would usually give little stuffings (either chicken or pork floss) inside. Things nowadays definitely are integrating the "Pay More, Get Less" practice. Damn buggers!

The ingredients prepared by us were chicken floss, frozen wanton skin (small pieces), a few eggs (stirred) and tons of patience. Know where to get these, right?

Place a handful of floss onto the wanton skin. Next, start rolling and wrapping them. Finally, patch any opening with the beaten egg to prevent any leaks of the floss during the frying session. Firstly, hand wash required though, very important

The essence of this DIY project are... to stuff, roll, wrap and patch the wantons. Then take a breather. Repeat all these steps until you're done. This stage can be tiring, so get a partner (better if you've got a few to help out) to accelerate things up 

Here's Dear cooking the 1st batch of wrapped wantons

Fry these awesome babies till they turned golden brown, for around a couple of mins... I think

Even an Iron Chef was flew in from Japan specially to cook this delicacy. He declined his name and identity to be posted here though

Viola! Homemade delicious snacks... beats buying from outside. And taste much better yo!

That's all for now I guess. Still trying to sort out some pics for upcoming post. So people, take good care and we will try to blog regularly if possible!
