Ingredients:
Two cups shredded veggies. Mixture of: mostly cabbage or bok choy,
with carrots, mushrooms, onion, whatever to taste. Pre-packaged
coleslaw mix works surprisingly well.

soy sauce
water
vinegar (white or rice)
coupla dozen wonton/dumpling skins ( I think these are just flour and water)
garlic (fresh, chopped fine, or powdered)
ginger (fresh, chopped fine, or powdered)
small bowl with water for dipping
optional: Tbsp Hunan chili paste, Tbsp plum sauce
or maybe tsp black bean sauce, tsp five spice powder or other
flavoring (use *one*)

Make the dipping sauce first and let it sit. Mix equal parts soy
sauce and vinegar, about 1/8 cup per person. Mix equal parts garlic
and ginger, about a clove’s worth per person.

Stir-fry vegetable mix in a small bit of water and soy sauce.
If you have it, add your favorite optional flavoring. I like chili paste.
Stir until translucent. Mix will taste sorta raw.

To make the dumplings, scoop about 1.5 teaspoons onto a dumpling skin
(experiment until you find the right amount.) Crunch the dumpling
into a nice shape and dip the end into the small bowl to seal it.

Dumplings may be boiled for 3-5 minutes or steamed 5-10. They are
done when they crinkle up and turn translucent.

Dip dumplings in sauce. Magic!

Title: Chocolatey Peanut Brittle
Categories: Candies, Entertain, Chocolate, Christmas
Yield: 6 servings

1/4 c Cocoa
1 ts Baking Soda
1 tb Butter
1 c Sugar
1/2 c Light Corn Syrup
1/4 c Whipping (Heavy) Cream
1 1/4 c Salted Peanuts

Yield: About 1 Pound Of Candy

Adding chocolate to peanut brittle makes the brittle taste different from
any you’ve ever had before.

Lightly butter a cookie sheet and set aside. In a small bowl, stir
together the cocoa and baking soda then add the butter. Set aside. In a
heavy 2 quart saucepan, stir together the sugar, corn syrup, and whipping
cream. Cook, over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is
dissolved. Stir in the peanuts. Continue cooking, stirring frequently,
until the mixture reaches 300 Degrees F. or when syrup dropped into very
cold water separates into threads which are hard and brittle. (Make sure
that the bulb of the candy thermometer is not resting on the bottom of the
pan when using one.) Remove from the heat and stir in the cocoa mixture.
Immediately pour onto the prepared cookie sheet. With tongs or wooden
spoons, quickly spread and pull into a 1/4-inch thickness. Place the
cookie sheet on a wire rack to cool completely. When the candy is cold,
break into pieces and store.
