Tip

Cut the lemongrass into rings before chopping if you want to avoid having long threads.

It is important to 'balance' the sauce.  The recipe is a guide but important to note that saltiness can vary between brands of fish sauce and lime juice can vary in acidity level.

HI Linny, These can be eaten

HI Linny, These can be eaten hot or cold. You can heat the filling in the microwave before serving if you wish. I sometimes make the case before hand and keep them in an airtight container. You can also heat the cases in the oven before filling with warmed mixture if you wanted to, but it really is not necessary. Hope this helps

I want to make these and take

I want to make these and take to a friends place for a get together can some please tell me are you meant to serve these cold or hot. I was going to make them earlier in the day so could they be heated in oven if needed.

Thanks so much for the

Thanks so much for the positive feedback everyone. Please try making your own wonton pastry using the recipe in the asian coookbook. Easy to make the cases in advance then spoon in the filling  at last minute. They are always a crowd pleaser.

Thanks for the lovely recipe.

Thanks for the lovely recipe. I think these would be good at our work picnic tomorrow. I'm thinking I could make up the cases and filling separately tonight and assemble at the park in the morning. Yum!

Meant to add that I couldn't

Meant to add that I couldn't find wonton wrappers today so bought spring roll pastry and used 2 in each muffin tin section.  Still worked well  Big smile

Wow, these are amazing!  So

Wow, these are amazing!  So much flavour, took me straight back to Thailand.  These are going on my favourite list for sure! Thanks.

Thanks so much for the feedback Adrianne. Great idea to use the whole wrappers if you are pushed for time or if you simply want more filling in each. You can also serve the mixture in a lettuce cup, as a dip with rice crackers or just on a wonton spoon if you don't have time to make wonton pastry or buy the wrappers. :)

We made these for our branch

We made these for our branch meeting tonight. They were fantastic! The mixture reminded me of Cambodian Larb. Stylish nibbles for a cocktail party. I used the wonton cups whole, it meant the cups were a bit bigger and could hold more of the yummy chicken filling. Thank you Rebecca.

I have a recipe very similar

I have a recipe very similar & call it Thai chicken salad in a wonton cup. The only difference I can see is I add finely sliced chinese cabbage & shredded carrot to the mix. Fantastic recipe Smile

Thanks for +'ve feedback

Thanks for +'ve feedback Maurs. Fish sauce can vary dramatically in salitiness  between brands. Plus I always use fresh lime juice rather than bottled. The balancing of the sauce is really important  (having said that, they seem to get wolfed down, even when I have been in a rush  Smile

Made these and delicious, I didnt cut the wonton wrappers just left them whole and only used half of the sauce, maybe just add to your own taste otherwise I would have found it too salty.:love:  Made day before and assembled at party place the next day, stayed lovely and fresh.

These look good - must try

Tried these last week Rebecca

Tried these last week Rebecca and they were great. I love the whole wonton wrapper thing. it s a really classy new way to serve dips etc too. i think i must have put too much fish sauce in mine as they were really salty so i actually added a packet of cream cheese to it and it was beautiful. my lot loved them. sometimes we invent the best things from mistakes Smile
