Sweet Won Tons Recipes

SWEET WON TONS

Steps:

• Mix the dates, bananas, almonds and cinnamon.
• Place a heaped teaspoon of the fruit mixture in the centre of a won ton wrapper. Brush the edges lightly with water.
• Cover with another won ton wrapper at an angle, so that the wrappers make a star shape.
• Press with your fingers as close to the fruit filling as possible to release any trapped air and to seal the won ton.
• Repeat with the remaining ingredients. To make the job quicker have a "production line" of ten or so won tons lined up that you fill, cover and seal.
• Put the filled won tons on a tray lined with baking paper. Make sure they don't touch as they stick to each other.
• Heat oil in a large pan or wok until moderately hot. Add the won tons in small batches and fry for 2 minutes or until crisp and golden.
• Drain on paper towels.
• Dust with icing sugar before serving.

AIR-FRIED SWEET WONTONS

Steps:

• Mix peanut butter, brown sugar, honey, and sesame seeds in a small bowl.
• Lay out a wonton square. Dip your index finger into water and moisten all 4 edges. Place 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture in the center, and fold it diagonally to make a triangle, firmly pressing the edges down. Don't overfill, as the peanut butter mixture may ooze out.
• Once you've made a triangle shape, take the bottom corners and fold around your index finger so they meet. Moisten the 2 wonton corners and press together to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
• Preheat an air fryer to 370 degrees F (188 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions for 5 minutes.
• Working in batches, add some wontons to the fryer basket; make sure they're not crowded or touching. Spray lightly with cooking spray and cook until just light golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cool slightly, dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve.

CURRIED SWEET POTATO WONTONS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°. Lightly spray 24 small muffin cups, 1 3/4x1 inch, with cooking spray.
• Melt 1 tablespoon margarine in 10-inch skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in sweet potato, bell pepper and onions. Cover and cook 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sweet potato is tender. Stir in curry powder and salt. Cool slightly.
• Beat egg and flour in medium bowl until smooth; beat in yogurt. Stir in sweet potato mixture. Brush one side of each wonton square with melted margarine. Press each square, margarine side up, into muffin cup. Spoon sweet potato mixture into wontons. (Cover and refrigerate up to 8 hours.)
• Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until wontons are golden brown and centers are set.

WON TONS

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, combine mustard, soy sauce and wasabi until the wasabi has dissolved. Cover and refrigerate.
• Place cream cheese in a large bowl (preferably chilled metal). Mix in crab meat, onion, water chestnuts and parsley. Place one spoonful of the mixture in the center of each won ton wrapper. Bring points of the wrapper together (in a triangular shape) and pinch the edges closed. If the edges do not stick together, wet your fingertips lightly with water and pinch the ends together again (this will help to hold the won ton together).
• Heat oil in a large skillet. When oil is hot, place won tons (approximately 6 at a time) into hot oil. Remove the won tons when they are golden brown. Drain them on a paper towel lined tray. Repeat this process until all won tons are fried. Serve with dipping sauce.

CRISPY WONTONS

Steps:

• Combine pork, water chestnuts, green onions, soy sauce, cornstarch, salt and ginger in medium bowl; mix well. Place 1/2 teaspoonful pork mixture in center of each wonton skin. Fold wonton skin over filling to form a triangle. Turn top of triangle down to meet fold. Turn over; moisten 1 corner with water. Overlap opposite corner over moistened corner; press together firmly.
• Heat oil in wok or large saucepan over medium-high heat to 375 degrees F. Deep-fry wontons, a few at a time, 2 to 3 minutes, or until brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm with ketchup and mustard or sweet & sour sauce, as desired.

SWEET CREAM CHEESE FRIED WONTONS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a small pot.
• Beat egg.
• Mix cream cheese and 1/2 cup of sugar with egg.
• Spoon mixture into center of wonton wrapper.
• Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water and fold into whatever shape you desire.
• Make sure to seal the edges so the cream cheese mixture doesn't escape during frying.
• Drop into hot oil and brown both sides.
• Serve with your favorite sauce or just eat 'em alone!

CHINESE WONTONS

Steps:

• Combine pork, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and vegetables in a bowl.
• Separate wonton skins.
• Place a heaping teaspoon of filling in the center of the wonton.
• Brush water on 2 borders of the skin, covering 1/4 inch from the edge.
• Fold skin over to form a triangle, sealing edges.
• Pinch the two long outside points together.
• Heat oil to 450 degrees and fry 4 to 5 at a time until golden.
