8 green onions, cut in 1/4 inch pieces
1 8 oz can water chestnuts, chopped
1/2 cup fresh mushrooms, diced
1 cup green peppers, cut in 1/4 inch pieces
Form 2 inch balls, roll in flour and fry in 1/2 inch oil, browning on all sides. Do not let the oil smoke. Drain on absorbent paper. Serve hot over rice with Sweet and Sour Sauce.

I like to make things too in the kitchen, so I'll probably try this soon. I now have a printed copy in my baking book.
