Crunchy, succulent, everyones favourite Chinese [[Starter|starter]]. The only problem is that they are not very good for you if you are watching your [[cholesterol]] intake. Anything that contains [[Lard|lard]] and is then fried, can't be great for you. Anyway, it's probably worth being naughty now and again.
