About Money bags

Money Bags are a delightful appetizer originating from Asian cuisine, often associated with Thai or Chinese culinary traditions. These bite-sized bundles are made by wrapping a savory filling in thin sheets of dumpling or spring roll pastry and tying them at the top to resemble small pouches. Fillings typically include a mix of minced meat like chicken, shrimp, or pork, blended with chopped vegetables, aromatics such as garlic and ginger, and a variety of seasonings. The pastries are then fried until golden and crispy, providing a satisfying crunch. While the filling is rich in protein and nutrients from the vegetables, the frying process adds extra calories and fat. For a healthier twist, baking or steaming can be substituted to reduce fat content. Money Bags are perfect as party snacks or starters, combining flavorful ingredients with a fun and festive presentation.
