Chinese money bags, if you have wonton wrappers left over, make these cute little money bags the next time around! these dainty treats make a great starter or finger food that you can pass around during a party. Bamboo shoots make a great filling, but if that is not available use the vegetables you have in hand: carrots, mushroom, baby corn etc. Soya sauce and lemon impart a nice tangy flavor, and you could also mix in some chinese five-spice powder to add to the taste. Blanched coriander stems tied around the neck of these bags make an interesting garnish. Serve hot with spicy sauces and enjoy!

How to proceed
