Crispy Pork & Spring Onion Parcels (Giew Toud)

"In China these are made using wonton skins: a flour based dough processed with lye to change the texture of the flour. However in Thailand they make their own pastry without using Lye. This recipe is much better than the frozen Chinese parcels you can buy in the supermarket. The fresh spring onion and coriander really make a big difference."
