Sesame Wonton Crisps Recipes

SESAME WONTON CRISPS

Steps:

• Stir together seeds, salt, sugar, and cayenne in a small bowl. Stir together water and cornstarch separately.
• Heat oil in a 5-quart heavy pot over moderate heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 360°F. Brush 1 side of 2 wrappers with cornstarch mixture and sprinkle with seed mixture. Shake off any excess seeds and add wrappers to oil, seeded sides down. Fry, turning over once, until golden, about 10 seconds. (Some seeds will fall off during frying.) Transfer crisps with tongs to paper towels to drain, then make more, 2 at a time, in same manner.

Steps:

• Defrost the wrappers and peel them apart. Stack and cut them in half (some are round and some are square; it doesn't matter). Brush them with a little egg white and sprinkle with black and white sesame seeds. Heat 2 inches of oil to 350°F in a saucepan or wok and gently drop in the crisps, a few at a time. If they start to curl, straighten them with tongs. Turn them once, and when they are light golden brown (about 30 seconds), remove and drain them on paper towels. When the crisps are cool, place in an airtight container or Ziploc bag; they will stay crisp for several days.
