- What is the perfect end note to a Chinese food meal?
If you're old school and ordering take-out, its usually fortune cookies (that may or may not be stale).
But, with some simple steps you can have a nice twist on a Chinese favorite: the wonton.
My favorite treat from delivery places like China Garden or Eastern Cafe is a crab wonton (sometimes call rangoon) which is essentially a deep fried concoction of crab meat and cream cheese. This is NOT a low-fat dish, but it's well worth the calories and the hour you'll spend at the gym the next day.
The dessert version is the same concept: Nutella Wontons
**NOTE: Nutella is a chocolate hazelnut spread that's from Europe but can be found in any grocery store. The French typically spread it on croissants for a chocolatey breakfast.**
- Take some wonton wrappers (also can be found in any grocery store, in the Asian aisle), the number depends on how many individual wontons you want.
- 1 tbsp of Nutella spread, plop smack dab in the middle of the wonton. Seal edges with water, form into triangles.
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat, fill with 4 tbsp of vegetable oil (NOT BUTTER! Butter burns too fast)
- Drop 1-2 wontons in hot oil, fry for 3-4 minutes.
- COOL COMPLETELY and enjoy!
Psst! For an extra treat, sprinkle powdered sugar on top to give these a little more sweetness.
