Chinese cooking for a crowd - and fortune cookies?

I'm hosting a pot luck of 10-20 bodies for the Lunar New Year. I have a pretty small wok, and I'll be hosting, so I'm looking for recipes that come together and scale easy - maybe something I can do in the oven or in a dutch oven on the stove? I have the Breath of a Wok, and Fuschia Dunlop's books, but I'm not really finding anything that fits the bill.

Also, does anyone have a good/easy recipe for fortune cookies? I know they're not Chinese, but I'd like to have some fun with my guests.

    Fold 'em while their hot, otherwise they won't fold. Happy Year of the Rabbit!

      Your wok can be used as a steamer by placing chopstick in them.
