  This is based on an appetizer mixture served universally throughout
  Hawaii. Add/substitute whatever other fresh, seasonal crunchy
  vegetable you can find such as jicama, fresh water chestnuts,
  parsnips, etc.
  
  BAKED WONTONS:
  
  This is more a technique than a hard and fast recipe. Beat 4 egg
  whites with a tablespoon of water until frothy. With a pastry brush,
  lightly paint wonton skins with the mixture and arrange in a single
  layer on non-stick or parchment lined baking sheets and bake in a
  preheated 375 degree oven for 5-8 minutes or until wontons are
  lightly browned and crisp. You can sprinkle the brushed but unbaked
  wontons with sesame seed, Kosher salt, poppy seed or whatever to add
  interest. Store in airtight container for up to 3 days.
