Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 12 bites
Ingredients
- 12 wonton wrappers
- 1 ripe banana, sliced
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by laying out clean cutting board and gathering all ingredients.
- Slice the ripe banana into thin, even pieces approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- Arrange wonton wrappers on a clean, dry surface with a small bowl of water nearby for sealing.
- Place 2-3 chocolate chips in the center of each wonton wrapper.
- Top the chocolate chips with 1-2 banana slices, ensuring they are centered.
- Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper to help seal.
- Carefully fold the wonton wrapper diagonally to create a triangle, pressing edges firmly to seal completely.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pan to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully lower wontons into hot oil, frying 2-3 at a time to avoid overcrowding.
- Fry until golden brown, approximately 1-2 minutes per side.
- Remove wontons with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Once cooled slightly, dust wontons generously with powdered sugar.
- Serve warm and enjoy immediately for best taste and texture.
Tips
- Choose a perfectly ripe banana with a few brown spots for maximum sweetness and easier slicing.
- Keep your wonton wrappers covered with a damp towel to prevent drying while you're preparing the bites.
- Use a candy thermometer to ensure your oil is precisely at 350°F for the perfect golden-brown crispiness.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying—this ensures each wonton gets evenly crisp and golden.
- Let the wontons cool for a minute after frying to prevent burning your mouth and allow the chocolate to set slightly.
- For a gourmet touch, experiment with different chocolate types like dark, milk, or even white chocolate.
- Serve immediately after dusting with powdered sugar to maintain the crisp texture and warm, gooey center.
