Jam Parcels. Serves 4 (makes 24 parcels)
Vegetable oil for deep-frying
One 16 oz (454 g) package square wonton wrappers
1 egg, whisked for egg wash
2 Tbsp (30 mL) raspberry jam
1/4cup (60 mL) icing sugar for dusting
|
Instructions
- Place the vegetable oil in a large pot, no more than one-third of the way up to prevent splashing or boiling over.
- Heat the oil to 350°f (175°c). Line a baking tray with three layers of paper towels.
- Place the wonton wrappers on a clean, dry work surface and brush them with the egg wash.
- Place 1/4 tsp (1 mL) of jam in the centre of each wonton, then gently lift the edges up and twist to create a parcel.
- Pinch tightly around the base to secure.
- In batches, place the wontons in the heated oil to fry until golden brown.
- Once the wonton parcels are golden brown, about 2 minutes, remove them from the oil and place them on the paper towel to drain off any excess oil.
- Repeat this process with the remaining wontons.
- The jam will turn into an oozing hot syrup, so please allow them to cool slightly before serving to prevent burning your mouth.
- Once the wonton jam parcels have cooled slightly, dust them with icing sugar and serve.
Jam parcels—I absolutely love these and making them gives me the same rush as making a stuffed pasta or wonton.
