Tonight we made some gorgeous mushroom and cabbage wontons, shiitake mushrooms are so tasty and lovely, the filling also had some cabbage, rice noodles, water chestnuts, pak choi and a lovely dressing that I made. The wonton shapes were a little tricky but luckily Rhona was able to master the technique by following the instructions by Jeremy Pang.
I also have a new favourite ingredient, Chi uchow chilli oil, it is super spicy and has sesame oil in so full of flavour. It goes really well in a dipping sauce although it did make my lips tingle! Lovely.
When you are rehydrating dried shiitake mushrooms, put them in cold water for a few hours rather than hot water for half an hour, they keep a much, much better flavour.
