Vietnamese-inspired Salmon Wontons

Jillian Dang shares her healthy salmon wontons recipe with us, hope you love it as much as we do.

Jillian Dang (pictured) has been cooking since the age of 10. She worked with her uncle and aunt in their busy street food business in the city of Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, for many years before she emigrated to Canada.

Although Jillian currently lives in Vancouver, she said she can never leave the joys of cooking, and eating, Vietnamese food behind.

The dish she whipped up is a twist on spring rolls and wontons. Quite smart, I must say. I loved the healthy bites of equal amounts of salmon and vegetables. These are great for steaming and serving with a chilli oil and soy sauce mix, or for freezing for later uses in your homemade Pho.

Today, she shares her healthy salmon wontons recipe with us, hope you love it as much as we do.
