Sesame Wonton Crackers Recipes

WONTON CRACKERS

Steps:

• Place the oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 375° F/190° C.
• Take a stack of about 10 wonton wrappers and cut them in half into triangles. Leave the rest in the package so they don't dry out. Lay the triangles on the baking sheet close together and cut more triangles as necessary to fill the sheet. Spray some canola oil on the triangles, then flip them over. Brush the top side of the triangles with the egg white.
• Sprinkle on whatever combination of toppings you like. Sprinkle spices first, then add seeds and salt. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and crispy, about 7 to 9 minutes, rotating the pans about halfway through. Remove and allow to cool on the pan, then keep in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

WHOLE-WHEAT-AND-SESAME CRACKERS

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk together flour, sesame seeds, sugar, and coarse salt. Work butter into flour mixture until crumbly. Stir in cream with a fork until dough forms. Shape into a 2-inch-wide log. Wrap in plastic; freeze 1 hour or up to 3 months.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut log into 1/8-inch-thick rounds; arrange on parchment-lined baking sheets and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sea salt. Bake, rotating sheets once, until edges are golden, 14 to 16 minutes. Let crackers cool on a wire rack.

HOMEMADE SESAME CRACKERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease two cookie sheets with butter and set aside.
• In a medium-sized bowl, mix first four ingredients and then sift them two times with a flour sifter. To this dry mix, add yogurt, cutting it in with a pastry blender. Set aside.
• Melt butter in small saucepan and toast sesame seeds in butter until they start to smell nutty and get a bit browned. Add sesame seeds to dry mix and then ice water. Knead this mixture a bit, perhaps 20 strokes. If dough is still too sticky, add a handful of wheat flour until you can manage to roll it out on a flat surface.
• Roll to 1/8 inch thick and cut into desired shapes. Poke many holes into each individual cracker with a fork.
• Arrange on cookie sheets with about 1/4 inch between each cracker. Bake for 10 minutes or starting to brown at edges. Cool on baker's rack.

SESAME WONTON CRISPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Stir together oil and cornstarch in a small bowl until combined.
• Stack wonton wrappers and halve diagonally. Arrange in 1 layer on a large baking sheet and brush tops with oil mixture. Sprinkle evenly with sesame seeds and kosher salt and bake in middle of oven until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer crisps as browned to a rack to cool.

SHRIMP ON WONTON CRACKERS WITH SLAW

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Arrange wonton skins in single layer on a flat surface. Cut out circles using a 2-inch cookie cutter. Lightly coat baking sheets with sesame oil, transfer rounds to pan. Drizzle wontons with a little sesame oil, season, to taste, with salt. Bake until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Let cool completely. The wonton crackers may be made several days ahead and stored at room temperature in an airtight container.
• Blanch the snow peas in a large pot of rapidly boiling water for 1 minute. Drain well then rinse in cold water to stop the cooking process. Julienne the snow peas, radishes, and carrots, place them in a large bowl. Add sesame seeds, mint, and ginger. Whisk together the marinade ingredients in a separate mixing bowl, pour 1/2 the marinade over the slaw, toss to coat.
• Remove the shrimp tails and discard. Split the shrimp in half lengthwise and place in a large bowl. Pour the remaining marinade over the shrimp.
• To assemble: place a small amount of snow pea slaw on wonton cracker. Top with 2 shrimp halves, cut side down. Garnish with black sesame seeds and mint before serving.
