There's a gargoyle BOTHERING us so we're gonna hide in the kitchen and make dinner.
I guess we can't eat gargoyle... maybe STONEBAKED PIZZA? No? Alas.. I have to make something out of this leftover hippogriff meat.
So here's where we were last recipe, frying up that hippogriff meat with diced veg. After we got some out for the soup, i've added some black pepper to add flavour to the filling.
It's the next day, and this is back out the fridge. And for the wraps, I already had some old wonton wrappers in my freezer. They're looking a little worse for wear though.. theyve been in there a while and maybe they've dried out a lot. I guess I'll see what I can do...
I'm taking outthe meat chunks and dicing them up EVEN SMALLER. Since they were really meant to be minced meat.
I wasn't sure if these were a bit small for the shape we are trying to make... they are at least designed for boiling, but... yeah they're so dried out now... i dont know what kind of shapes I can even hope to make with them.
I am NOT happy with this. But its dinner time and I don't want to go try and make my own pastry or change dinner plans now. Let's just wade through like we always do.
OK, I have some kind of shapes. I refreshed the pastry a bit with hot water and I think these will hold together in water.
At least these are optimised for boiling, which was a specification of this dish after all.

They're not terrible I guess. They taste like a cheap lean steak with pepper and onion. A bit boring though and a fattier meat would be nicer. It's a shame i couldnt make them look that similar, and these wontons are really designed for serving in a soup which might have made it tastier and more satisfying. The lesson is.. don't leave things in your freezer for months and months and months saying "ill use it for a recipe some day". The other lesson is I just want to steam and fry store-bought gyoza instead.
