Sweet Wonton Pillows - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Filling
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened dried shredded coconut
2 tablespoons chopped unsalted dry roasted peanuts
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Wonton
24 wonton wrappers
24 mint leaves
1 egg, lightly beaten
cooking oil (for deep frying)

Preparation

Combine the brown sugar, shredded coconut, dry roasted peanuts and sesame seeds in a bowl.
Place 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.
Top with a mint leaf.
Brush the edges of the wrapper lightly with the lightly beaten egg.
Fold the wrapper in half diagonally over the filling to form a triangle. Squeeze out the air; pinch the edges to seal.
In a wok, heat the cooking oil for deep-frying to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Add the triangles, a few at a time, and deep-fry until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
Remove the triangles and drain on paper towels.
