Atomic Dumplings

Ingredients :
1	pkt	Wonton skins
1	x	-(up to)
2	lb	Boneless chicken breasts, cubed
1	can	Coconut milk (Taste of Thai is OK)
1	jar	Thai, Vietnamese or other chili-garlic paste
2	x	-(up to)
3	x	Thai chilis, fresh, green and red (seeded is optional)
1	bn	fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
1	sm	Portion of water and cornstarch, make thin paste

How to cook :

Mix cubed chicken with coconut milk, chili paste, peppers and cilantro.
Allow to sit for at least an hour to absorb flavours.
Then, taking a cube of chicken (or two, depending on size), center it in a wonton skin,gather the four corners of the skin with your fingers moistened in the cornstarch paste, and twirl the skin until the dumpling looks like a Hershey's Kiss.
Allow these to rest on waxed paper or a cookie sheet sprayed with PAM.
Deep fry these in sufficient oil to cover, a few at a time.
I use peanut oil but anything that can take a high heat is fine.
Olive oil smokes too much.
Remove from hot oil when they float and are golden brown.
Be careful, they cook very fast.
I usually provide a peanut sauce to dip these in but they're fine by themselvesI do not use exact measurements when I cook, so the above are only approximations of what I use.
If it looks right, it probably will be fine.
These work out great for parties, too.
