Recipe Instructions

* Note: See the "Orange-Chipotle Sauce" recipe which is included in this collection.

Combine all ingredients for filling. Place 1 ounce of filling on a wonton wrapper, brush the outside edge with water and place a second wrapper on top pressing the edges together to seal completely. Place on a sheet of waxed paper dusted with cornstarch and proceed to fill the rest.

Preheat oil to 360 degrees and deep fry the wontons for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden-brown and puffed. Serve immediately on warm plates with Orange-Chipotle Sauce and cilantro sprigs.

This recipe yields 40 wontons, serving 8 to 10.

Recommended Wine: The sauce is pretty spicy so a Gewurztraminer or Riesling with some residual sugar and good acid is the choice here.
