Gau gee wrappers or if not available, won ton wrappers

Finely chop parsley and water chestnuts. Mash Spam and add parsley/chestnuts mixture, mixing well. Moisten edges of gau gee wrapper, add 1 teaspoon of Spam mixture and fold end to end to form a rectangle and seal. Deep fry in hot oil until golden brown.

AUNTIE ETTA'S STIR-FRIED SHRIMP

Albert Kaai

2 pounds shrimp
1 bunch green onion
2 bunches Chinese parsley
3 cloves garlic
3 tablespoons chopped ginger
4-6 tablespoons Tiparos fish sauce

To clean the shrimp: Cut through top center of shrimp tail, just enough to remove vein, leaving shell on. Set shrimp aside.

Finely chop the white stems of green onions, stems of the parsley, and garlic cloves. Add to the chopped ginger. Set aside.

Cut green part of onions and Chinese parsley tops into 1 inch lengths and set aside.

Heat an oiled wok on high. Stir fry the garlic mixture for 1 minute. Add cleaned shrimp and stir fry 3-5 minutes. Add fish sauce and stir fry until shrimp is done. Add chopped green onion and Chinese parsley tops and turn off stove.
