Dessert Wontons compliments Wonton Warrior


 If you are also reading My Sweet and Savory, you are aware that Wonton Warrior has returned for a visit.  Gee, I hope, he doesn't plan to stay too long.  He is a difficult house guest..  The problem is that he likes to eat.......morning, noon and night and by night, I mean 2 AM.

Being used to a quiet house, it is a bit shocking, to hear noises, after midnight.  The bang of pots and pans and the clatter of the flatware and dishes is not conducive to  sleeping and I find myself, joining Mr. Warrior, at the oddest hours.  I admit to being curious as to what he is up to.

On one particular night, I rushed to the kitchen, after hearing something falling - only the spice shelf.  It could have been my glasses. Wonton Warrior was looking for cinnamon and did something no one else has done, dislodged the shelf that holds sugar, spices, baking powder and baking soda.  You get the picture.  My counter was a mess.

Evidently, Wonton Warrior welcomed me, that night.  He told me, he was going to reward me for cleaning up the mess.  His logic was that it is my kitchen and I am the one in charge.  Yeah sure.......until he wants to play.

OK, I admit it.  He did reward me with the most delicious cinnamon wontons, filled with cream cheese mixed with cinnamon sugar and dusted with more of the cinnamon mixture after it was cooked.

Wonton Warrior has become aware that deep frying is not the healthiest way to make wontons and baking leaves a lot to be desired.  He has come up with the two step method, first boiling and then kind of frying.

I have two wonderful skillets made from ceramic (at least the inside is) and you can cook right in them.  I do use a bit of oil to keep food moist.  These pans clean up like a dream.  The Warrior loves these, as you can imagine.


 Cinnamon Dessert Wontons

Ingredients:

8 wonton wrappers
2/3 cup cream cheese (I use whipped)
3/4 cup cinnamon sugar (I make up some and put in a tight lidded container so I always have it on-hand.
1 teaspoon margarine, butter or oil
water


 Method:

Half fill a large pot with water and place on stove on high until it boils.  Keep it boiling when you drop in the wontons.

Lay out wrappers on a cookie sheet.

In a medium size bowl, mix cream cheese and 1/2 cup cinnamon sugar.  I microwaved the cream cheese for 30 seconds to soften it up to make it more workable.

Brush each wonton with water.

Using a teaspoon, plop about that size on each of the wontons.

Make into a triangle and seal well.

Drop into boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes.

While they are boiling, place butter or margarine or oil in a large skillet.

Scoop out the wontons and drop into skillet and cook until lightly browned.

Remove.  Drain on paper towels.

Pour remaining cinnamon sugar on a plate.  Place wontons in cinnamon sugar until both sides are coated.

Now you are ready for the Warrior's special dessert.  Eat and enjoy.

    These do look like a delicious reward. Although I'm not sure I like his logic either.

    FYI - your Cooking with Herbs picture covers up the burttons on the comment box making it hard to comment. :)

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
