In honor of the upcoming Jewish holiday of Purim I challenged Rachel to hamantaschen throw down. I figure I should be able to best her easily, as they are usually high in sugar and carbs which are Kryptonite to my compadre.
While hamantaschen usually take the form of a sweet triangular cookie, I went in a completely different direction creating a savory appetizer version. For the BBQ sauce I recommend my Dr. Pepper BBQ Sauce .

Do you have anything that isn’t meat or vegetables? Also I don’t get your title…. What am I missing
k, maybe I’m an idiot- if the won tons arents circle, howd u get them into a triangle???? Mine were a fail. a delicious fail but presentation was not good…
So I bought the round won-ton skins some times referred to as gyoza skins
