Here's another fun way to use the easy and versatile Asian Shrimp & Pork Filling. These crispy delights are a snap to make and are great as a party appetizer or a first course.
You can use any round dumpling wrapper, but I prefer the thin, golden 'Hong Kong-style' that are often available in the frozen foods section of Asian markets.
Note: Remember to watch these carefully, as they cook very quickly.

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Yield: 36 appetizers
Ingredients:
- 1 recipe Asian Shrimp & Pork Filling
- 36 thin asparagus stalks
- 36 round Asian dumpling wrappers
- Oil for frying
Preparation:
Rinse the asparagus and dry well. Cut the asparagus stalks about 2 inches longer than the width of the dumpling wrappers.
Spread each wrapper with about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the filling. Place an asparagus stalk across the middle and roll up, wetting the edge of the wrapper to seal.
Heat 1/4 - 1/2 inch of oil in a deep skillet to 350 degrees. Fry the rolls in batches until lightly golden and drain well on a rack or plain paper towels. Keep the finished rolls warm in a low oven.
