Toddler Fun Stuffed Wontons Recipes

WON TON WRAPPER APPETIZERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a miniature muffin pan with cooking spray.
• Insert wonton wrappers into the muffin pan so as to form small cups. Bake 5 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow the baked wrappers to cool. Remove from the pan.
• In a medium bowl, mix the sausage, Monterey Jack, Cheddar, black olives and Ranch-style dressing. Fill the baked wonton wrapper cups with the mixture.
• Bake the filled wonton wrappers 10 to 15 minutes, until the sausage mixture is bubbly and slightly brown. Watch closely so the wonton wrappers do not burn.

HOT CRISPY WONTONS STUFFED WITH CHOCOLATE AND BANANAS

Steps:

• The day before you plan to make this recipe, leave the milk chocolate in a warm place to make it slightly pliable. Cut each bar into 8 chunks and, with your hands, try to form each chunk into a disk the size of a quarter with no sharp edges. Lay the wonton skins out on a surface and 1 at a time; paint the edges with water. In the center of the wonton skin, place a disk of milk chocolate and a banana slice on top of the chocolate. Fold the wonton skin corner to corner to make a triangle and press together well to seal completely. Cover with plastic wrap and store chilled until ready to fry and serve, up to 10 hours ahead.
• Heat the oil in a deep pot to 350 degrees. Drop the wontons into the oil, being careful not to crowd them (you may have to work in batches) and fry, turning often, until golden brown. Meanwhile, place the cinnamon sugar in a bowl. Remove the wontons with a slotted spoon and immediately dredge them in the cinnamon sugar to coat heavily. Serve right away with scoops of vanilla ice cream.

EDAMAME-STUFFED WONTONS

Steps:

• Heat the sesame and canola oils in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook for 10 seconds until fragrant. Add the frozen edamame, and cook until they are tender and beginning to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Once browned, remove from the heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Once the edamame have cooled slightly, place them into a blender along with the green onion, hoisin sauce, and soy sauce. Cover, and puree until smooth.
• To make the wontons: Separate and place the wonton wrappers onto your work surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the edamame filling onto the center of each wrapper. Use your finger or a pastry brush to lightly moisten the edges of the wonton wrappers with water. Fold one corner of the wrapper over the filling onto the opposite corner to form a triangle. Press the edges together to seal. Place onto the prepared baking sheet and lightly coat with cooking spray. Sprinkle evenly with the salt.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the triangles are crisp and golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes.

MIDDLE EASTERN LAMB-STUFFED WONTONS

Steps:

• Mix together the lamb, spices, raisins and pistachios until well combined. Brush the edges of 1 of the wonton skins with water. Place 1 1/2 teaspoons of the filling in the center. Bring the corners of the skin together over the filling and press the edges together to seal tight. Repeat with the remaining skins and filling.
• Working in batches, deep-fry the wontons until nicely browned. Make sure the oil is not too hot or the skins will brown before the filling is cooked through. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.

MOM'S WONTON

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook the ground pork over medium heat until no longer pink.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the shrimp, ground pork, green onions, ginger, and water chestnuts. Mix in the cornstarch, garlic salt, and sugar. Mix in the dry sherry, chili oil, soy sauce, and sesame oil.
• Place about one teaspoon 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, sealing them closed with egg whites.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to boil. Carefully place won tons into boiling water without crowding. (Work in batches if necessary.) When the wontons float to the surface, add a cup of cold water and allow the water to come to a boil again. Then remove from the boiling water.

TODDLER FUN STUFFED WONTONS

Steps:

• Fill wontons.
• Wrap shut.
• Brush with butter and dust with date sugar.
