  Here's a Chinese appetizer that looks great--crescents
  of deep fried wonton skins stuffed with pork, shrimp
  and other goodies.
  
  For Sauce:
  
  1. Combine water, vinegar, sugar, tomato paste and
  cornstarch in small saucepan. Cook over medium heat,
  stirring constantly, until sauce boils. Boil and stir
  1 minute. . Keep sauce warm.
  
  For Gow Gees:
  
  2. Place mushrooms in bowl and cover with boiling
  water. Let stand 30 minutes. Drain and squeeze out
  excess water.
  
  3. Cut wonton wrappers into circles using 3-inch (8
  cm) biscuit or cookie cutter. Cover wrappers with
  plastic wrap to avoid excessive drying.
  
  4. Remove shells and back veins from shrimp. Finely
  chop shrimp, pork, onions and mushrooms with cleaver,
  sharp knife or food processor. Transfer chopped foods
  to large bowl. Add soy sauce, ginger and garlic. Mix
  well.
  
  5. Place level teaspoon (5 mL) pork mixture onto
  center of each wonton circle. Brush edges with water.
  Fold circles in half over filling, pressing edges
  firmly together to seal.
  
  6. Heat vegetable oil in wok over high heat until it
  reaches 375 degrees F (190 C). Fry 8 to 10 gow gees at
  a time in hot oil until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain
  on absorbent paper. Serve with Sweet and Sour Sauce.
