Nutella and Banana Wonton Packets
Last Saturday, I spent a good part of my afternoon trying out different wonton fillings. I experimented using almost everything I had in my pantry, from the mild cinnamon-y pears and raisins to the wild taro paste and coconut sport strands. Some combinations deserve to be trashed and forgotten. Some are worth repeating and sharing. My daughter claimed a raspberry preserves and cream cheese partnership as her favorite and I, on the other hand, developed affinity for the Nutella spread and bananas variation. No suprise there, as I’d die with a smile for anything chocolate.
wonton wrappers, separated to individual sheets
egg, lightly beaten
oil
powdered sugar
Nutella and Bananas
Nutella hazelnut spread
bananas, peeled and thinly sliced
Raspberry and Cream Cheese
seedless raspberry preserves
cream cheese, whipped
In the center of each individual wonton wrappers, place a half a teaspoon dollop of either cream cheese or Nutella spread. Top with bananas or raspberry preserves.
Moisten four sides of wonton with lightly beaten egg. Pull one end over to the other end, forming a triangle or a square packet. Press seams with fingers to seal completely.
Meanwhile, heat enough oil for deep frying. Deep-fry wonton packets until golden brown and crisp. Adjust heat if wonton wrappers are browning before fully cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels. Arrange on a baking dish and keep warm in oven until all wontons have been fried.
Dust fried wonton packets with powdered sugar and serve warm.
TIP:
A flour sifter is an excellent tool for dusting powdered sugar over foods.

Sounds delicious. The gooeyness of the bananas and nutella against the crisp wanton - quite an interesting combination.
