Reply:They're normally for Chinese dishes, but you can also chop them up and put them in salads or even stuffing for that extra crunch. They make a great substitute for celery.

wrap sliced water chestnuts in 1/2 strips bacon. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes. Pour off excess grease and cover with a mixture of (i know this sounds gross) 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup chili sauce and 1/4 cup mayonaisse, bake for another 40 minutes at 350.



These are awesome appetizers, though my boyfriend will eat them like a meal! Hint-use a disposable foil pan to cook them in because the grease and carmelized brown sugar makes a huge mess to clean up! ENJOY!
Reply:Water chestnuts can be added to salads and stir-fry recipes for extra crunch.



They can also be added to fillings for Chinese dumplings or egg rolls.

For convenience I use the canned ones - either whole or sliced. I recommend draining them in colander and giving them a really quick rinse under the faucet with cool water to get rid of excess salt.
