Wonton Shrimp Purse
1. Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add green onions, garlic and sautĂŠ until onions begin to soften. 3. Add shrimp and until cooked. Remove from heat. 4. Stir in minced cilantro, parsley and lemon juice. Season filling with salt and pepper. Set aside and cool slightly. 5. On a flat surface, take one won ton wrapper and add a teaspoon of filling. Wet the edges of the won ton, connecting corners and pinching at the top. Continue to fill won ton wrappers until all the filling is used up. Alternatively, you can also just fold over the corners making a triangle but I guess it would not be a purse. 6. Heat a large flying pan or wok over medium heat. Add 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil until hot. Add a shrimp purses at a time frying until lightly brown. Drain on paper towels and serve with dipping sauce.

Combine the cashews, tahini, lime juice, soy sauce, sriracha, salt, and pepper in a food processor and blend until smooth. Add a little water at a time so that the mixture can blend, but try not to add it all if you can help it. 1/4 cup is perfect, but you can use up to 1/2 cup if you need to. Scrape the mixture into a bowl. Stir in the scallions and peppers. Heat the cooking oil in deep pot on the stove over medium heat. If you’re wonton skins are a little rectangular, take a moment to roll them with a rolling pin to shape them into squares.
5. Wet the edges of the wonton, then scoop about one tablespoon of the filling into the center of the wonton. 6. Fold the square wonton into a triangle, and press the sides closed. 7. Wet the two points on the long sides of the triangle, then press them together under the triangle. This sounds a little odd. 8. Using a slotted spoon, carefully drop the dumplings into the hot oil, one by one. 9. Let them cook until their little bottoms are lovely golden brown, then flip them over. Let the other side cook to the same color, then remove them from the pot, gently, with your slotted spoon. (Don’t use tongs, or try to get fancy with chopsticks and hot oil - you and your wontons will regret it.) 10. Let the wontons cool and drain on a dish lined with paper towel, or a clean, non-linty kitchen towel. 11. Serve it with WORLDFOODS Malaysian Sweet Chili Coconut Dipping Sauce

Cambodian Pineapple Chicken Pizza
1. Preheat your oven to 500 F for at least 30 minutes before you plan to cook the pizza. 2. Once all the ingredients are prepped, sprinkle a little cornmeal onto your baking sheet and place your pizza dough in the middle. Using the heel of your hand and starting in the center work the dough outwards. If the dough is shrinking back just let it rest for 5 minutes and continue working. 3. Once the pizza dough is ready, spread a decent layer of sauce onto the dough. 4. Sprinkle with red onions and chicken. 5. And the fun part, douse with cheese and place in the oven. After 5 minutes rotate the pizza and bake for another 3-5 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is beginning to get toasty. 6. Remove the pizza from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. While its cooling, sprinkle on other toppings (bell pepper, cilantro, scallions) 7. Once the pizza is cooled off, slice and enjoy.
