I am so excited to share these adorable baked wonton cups with shrimp, egg roll filling including wok tossed cabbage, shredded carrots, red onion, and of course shrimp mixed with a sauce that blended, garlic, ginger, soya sauce, rice wine vinegar, mirin, honey, lime juice, sesame oil, salt, red pepper flakes and a little cornstarch. The wonton cups were baked in a muffin tin. The wonton wrappers brushed with oil and then into the oven until browned and crispy. Top these beauties with scallions and cilantro. We ate them for dinner with a side dish of noodles and veggies, but you could also serve as an appetizer.
