Wontons galore
So. I finally got off my butt and decided to actually take pictures of food (sweet!) Too bad I am the super suck at framing (as you will see from the rest of the pictures). But whatever, if I don't keep trying, how am I supposed to get good, yah?
Anyway. So today, I made spicy wontons. I *heart* spicy wontons. Seriously, like one of my most favoritest food b/c it's SO friggin easy (no chopping of vegetables for wonton filling = very very happy me). So anyway, the ONLY problem I have with wontons are that I make them ugly. I have no idea how to make them pretty or look even remotely like a wonton. Exhibit A:
See? Not even remotely wonton looking. I *desperately* tried to make it look pretty, but it turned out retarded. Instead, it has ears. Or quote a friend, "It looks like a scrotum." *sigh*
But despite my inability to make wontons look attractive, I can still make them in LARGE quantities (where LARGE = one plate). And SEEEE...more is (somewhat) prettier. Or at least I like to pretend so. This picture took me THREE separate attempts. By separate, I mean, taking those poor wontons in and out of the fridge. First attempt: too blurry, bad lighting. Second attempt: WTF is there a sink in the picture?! Third attempt: bad *bad* framing b/c I stupidly cannot center a plate. BUT. I was sad for my wontons which were transported in to and out of the freezer, so this picture will do:
Notice how the tops of the wontons are slightly squished? THIS IS BECAUSE I HAD ALREADY SARAN WRAPPED THEM AND PUT THEM IN THE FREEZER. But SOMEONE gave me so much grief I had to take the pictures over (and over) again. I hate you, Ryan...
ANYWAY, after much mockery by people I showed my lovely wonton pictures to, I finally got hungry and cooked the wontons, and here is the end result:
Kind of looks yum, yeah? Had to wait five minutes before I could actually eat them so I could friggin take the pictures. But, I guess it's all good.
Maybe if I get unlazy, I'll put up the recipe. :P
