PIZZA WONTONS

Steps:

• Grind ham or chop very fine.
• Mix together ham, pineapple, and cheese.
• Add just enough spaghetti sauce to let the ingredients stick together.
• Place a wonton wrapper on the table with one corner facing you.
• Place 1-2 teaspoons filling on wrapper, just above the corner.
• Wet edges of wonton slightly.
• Fold corner facing you over filling, then overlap right and left corners over the top.
• Roll up and press slightly to seal.
• Deep fry in hot oil just until golden. This only takes about 30 seconds. If you leave them too long they will burst.
• Drain on paper towels.
• Freeze on a cookie sheet and transfer to a plastic bag or container.
• Re-heat in oven or microwave.

PIZZA ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the sausage and cook, using the back of a wooden spoon to crumble into fine pieces, until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir in the pepperoni, pizza sauce, oregano, granulated garlic and pepper flakes. Remove to a large bowl and allow to cool slightly. Fold in the mozzarella and season to taste with additional salt if needed.
• Put 1 wonton wrapper down on a flat work surface. Put a slightly heaping teaspoon of filling in the middle of the upper half of the wrapper, then put a slightly heaping teaspoon of filling in the middle of the bottom half, making sure that the fillings are evenly spaced apart. Brush egg wash all around the fillings and on the edges of the wrapper. Fold both sides of the wrapper over the fillings letter-fold style, overlapping them and being careful not to press down on the fillings. Turn the wrapper over so that the seal is on the bottom, then use your fingers to gently press down in between the fillings and around the edges. Use a sharp knife to cut the wrapper in half between the fillings. Use your fingers to tightly seal both ends of the pizza rolls. Put the filled pizza rolls on a large baking sheet. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
• Fill a Dutch oven halfway with canola oil and heat to 350 degrees F. Set a cooling rack over a baking sheet. Fry the pizza rolls in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4 minutes. Transfer to the cooling rack. Once all the pizza rolls are fried, move them to a large serving platter and serve immediately.

BAKED SHRIMP WONTONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray; line cups with 1 wonton wrapper each.
• Combine shrimp, water chestnuts, mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons green onions, sesame oil, ginger, and salt in a bowl. Spoon mixture into the wonton wrappers.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are dark brown, about 18 minutes. Remove wontons from muffin tin; garnish with the remaining green onions.

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.
