Banana Wontons With Coconut Sauce Recipes

CHINESE BANANA WONTONS

Steps:

• 1. Mix together the banana,nuts,spices and dash of salt. Place wonton wrappers out to make an assembly line. Get a pastry brush with a small dish of water ready. You may also sprinkle some cornstarch on a plate so the prepared wontons won't stick before they are fried.
• 2. Place one tablespoon of the banana mixture on the center of each wonton. Don't be tempted to overfill,you will just create a frustrating mess.Use your pastry brush to place water on the sides of the wrappers. Fold them over into triangles and pinch to secure them.
• 3. Place them onto the cornstarched plate until ready to fry. If not frying right away, cover with plastic wrap so wontons don't dry out. Pour about a 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet and heat until the oil is shimmering over a medium high flame.
• 4. Place the wontons in the pan in batches. Turning when golden(about 1 1/2 minutes on each side). When done, place them on a cooling rack so excess oil can drip off. You can dust with powdered sugar just before serving. A favorite dipping sauce is warmed nutella.

BANANAS WONTON

Steps:

• Slice the banana into slices about 1/2 inch thick. You want to have the wonton wrapper surround it completely, and if it's too thick a slice, it won't.
• Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
• Have a small bowl of water ready.
• Place the wonton wrapper on your work surface.
• Dip the banana into the cinnamon sugar and place in the center of the wrapper.
• Fold one corner over the banana slice. Moisten the next corner and fold it over the first corner, pressing gently. Repeat until all four corners are folded over.
• Repeat with remaining bananas and wontons. You might need more cinnamon sugar, depending on how generous you are, I used just a bit per slice.
• Heat oil in a saucepan or wok until medium hot, around 350 deg.
• Drop in a few of the wontons. They should cook in under a minute, and you might need to help it turn over onto the other side, once the first side is golden.
• Remove with a skimmer and drain on paper towels.
• If you are not further dipping these into a chocolate fondue, then you might want to sift a little powdered sugar over these.
• Note: lots of variations are possible - a dab of Nutella under the banana slice, some coconut flakes, a dash of nutmeg or cardamon in the sugar.
