Special Ingredient: Wonton Wrappers, chosen by Jasmine
So, I actually was an overachiever with this one by a lot! First, I made my own wonton wrappers. This was NOT by choice. I simply could not find them in my grocery store. As I was making them the recipe stated they needed to be rolled out very thinly. I was not looking forward to this prospect, but Jasmine had the bright idea of using a pasta machine. Brilliant!
With my wonton dough I made two recipes. Since the salad topper recipe wouldn't use much of the dough, I decided to also make dessert wontons. Here they are side by side. I used the the linguine side of my pasta machine to cut the salad topper wontons perfectly. The dessert ones are a little wonky.
Salad topper wontons.
Dessert wontons finished! They were delicious. The biggest problem was they were SO hot and I wanted to eat them so badly, I may have burned myself several times. But it was worth it!
And the salad toppers;
Great crunch and fun addition to a salad. In the future, I'll probably just buy them though.
I'm so smart ;) I couldn't find them anywhere either. And I looked at at least 2 stores. The hubs was the one who found them. I can't remember where either.
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! I'm impressed you made them, and bonus points to Jasmine for suggesting the pasta roller! (I wonder where my pasta machine is . . .)
