I love this recipe! I make them frequently... usually to accompany stir-fry our an Asian influenced soup. The funny thing is that I OBVIOUSLY didn't read the instructions over the first time because I fried them up as "fried wontons." I also didn't use the pork sausage the first time because I didn't have any on hand...I used bulk ground pork and they turned out great! There weren't any left over and now folks plead for me to make them often.
