Limpa

This appetizer recipe was picked up from a family friend while my father was in the Air Force, it's call Limpa.

1 cup shrimp, chopped real small

1 pound ground pork or beef, cooked and drained

1 green onion, diced small

1 carrot, shredded (using the small shred side works best)

1 cup bean sprouts, chopped up just a little

1 cup shredded cabbage

1 egg

Mix everthing together in a large bowl. Put one teaspoon of the mixture into the center of a wonton wrapper, fold one corner over the center, then the two side corners in, just enough to make a three sided rectangle, then roll towards the fourth corner, seal corner with a little water. Deep fry in hot oil. Drain on paper towels and serve hot or warm.

Note: They do not really reheat to well, so if you don't plan on using the whole batch, save the remaining mixture for another day and make it fresh.
