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!
