Makes about 40 money bags

Ingredients:

• 13 oz ground chicken
• 3 1/4 oz finely chopped ham
• 4 finely chopped scallions
• 1 finely chopped celery stalk
• 3 tbsp. chopped bamboo shoots
• 1 tbsp. soy sauce
• 1 crushed garlic clove
• 1 tsp finely grated ginger
• 40 wonton wrappers
• 20 chives
• Oil for frying

In a bowl, combine the chicken, ham, scallions, celery, bamboo shoots, soy sauce, garlic clove, and ginger. Working with 1 wonton wrapper at a time, place 2 teaspoons filling in the center, gather up the corners and pinch together to form a pouch, leaving a frill at the top. Cut 20 chives in half and place in a heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water for 1 minute; rinse and drain. Deep fry the money bags in hot oil for 4-5 minutes until crispy and golden; drain on paper towels. Tie a chive around each money bag. Serve immediately.
