How to make "Chili Garlic Crisp Snowflakes"

This recipe is really fun to make with kids or adults that act like kids, either one. They're easy, pretty and add a tasty, spicy crunch to the any soup.  Why, you might ask, did I think these up? I was bored one day and had extra spring roll wrappers, plus I love deep frying everything.  I once tried to make deep fried ice cream with my sous chef, Helen.  We were tired from cooking all day, but thought it was a brilliant idea.  We proceeded to put ice cream scoops directly into the scalding hot oil... no batter.  Oops, we pissed ourselves laughing.

Snowflaked crisp on Tom Yum Soup

• Buy some 5 inch spring roll wrappers
• Fold them in squares and cut sections out of them like you did when you were five.  Or if you are so ancient that you've forgotten, follow these instructions - How to make snowflakes
• Heat some peanut oil to deep fry them in - 375F
• Unfold snowflakes and set in to deep fry one at a time till golden brown
• Lift out carefully and drain onto paper towels
• Use a mortar and pestle to grind 1 clove garlic and 1 red Thai chili into a paste, add 1/4 cup salt and grind the flavours into the salt.  You can grind any spice into salt, or a fresh herb like cilantro even.
• Sprinkle salt on to each snowflake
• Serve on top of tom yum soup, tom ka gai.. or some other soup you've been craving.
