Make Won-Tons from left-over chicken

If you like egg rolls, you're sure to love these Chicken Won-Tons. They are easy to make and are a great way to use up just a little bit of leftover chicken.

After you taste them, you'll see why they're habit-forming.

You can serve them with a store-bought sweet and sour sauce, or maybe a hot Chinese mustard, but I love this easy peanut sauce for dipping.

Try it; you'll like it.

Chicken Won-Tons

1 c. cooked chicken, minced

1 c. finely shredded cabbage

Mix together chicken, cabbage (be sure it's finely shredded) and green onions. Add brown sugar, Hoisin sauce and oil. Mix well. Put 1 teaspoon of mixture in middle of each wrapper; moisten edges with water, and fold corners together into a triangle. Press edges to seal. Let dry 10 minutes, then fry in 3 inches of hot oil.

Makes 3 dozen.
