Crispy Chinese Money Bag Fritters: One of my childhood favourites, the distinctive money bag shape of these juicy golden meat dumpling fritters is deeply nostalgic of an era long past when Chinese people used to keep their money in little pouches like these!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Did you know that you could make Crispy Chinese Money Bag Fritters, using exactly the same ingredients<\/strong> as for Pork and Shrimp Wontons<\/a>? These Chinese Money Bag Fritters are cute little replicas of the money bags carried by the Chinese in the olden days, and makes a fun twist on the usual wonton.<\/p>\n

While the recipe is the largely similar to Wontons, there are some important tips to take note of when making Chinese Money Bag Fritters to achieve that perfectly-even golden colour of the skin wrapper.\"Crispy<\/p>\n

Firstly, when frying the money bags, it is important to submerge the money bag in oil in an upright position, because the meat portion takes a longer time to cook than the wonton skin portion on the top.\u00a0If the money bag is not upright, the top of the money bag will tend to get burnt before the meat filling is cooked through.<\/p>\n

Secondly, once the money bag\u00a0starts to brown, it is important\u00a0to turn down the heat to allow the meat stuffing to cook through while ensuring the wonton skin does not get burnt.<\/p>\n

As a serving suggestion, you can plate the piping hot Chinese Money Bags with slices of cool Japanese cucumber to counteract the ‘heatiness’ of the fritters, together with a chilled dipping sauce of Sweet Chilli Mayonnaise. Soo delicious!<\/p>\n
