2 min readThis is a great way of utilizing the same mixture designed for the har gao-same filling,but what a different end product!With the crispness of the pastry wrapping and the sweetness of the prawn,this is a dinner party canape must!For extra convenience,these can be made in advance and frozen,then defrosted as needed,with the end result being almost identical to that of a freshly fried won ton.
