I have never made a single wonton dumpling, yet I have already used three packages of wonton skins in last couple of months. First, I discovered how to transform wonton skins into edible cups<\/a> (see the photo and link below), which, once filled, proved impressive, but surprisingly effortless snacks. Then, quite recently, I started to play with these wonton chips (or crisps). Quick and easy, they are an ideal low-calorie and low-fat alternative to nachos or other commercial deep-fried snacks, but they certainly do not fall into the “diet food” category; an excellent taste and delicate, crisp texture remain their biggest assets.<\/p>\n

Similar recipes can be found everywhere on the web, but instead of following any of them, I decided to copy the edible wonton cups instructions, adapting them to bite-sized chips.\u00a0If you wish, before baking, you can sprinkle them with spices, coarse salt, grated cheese… whatever comes to your mind. I chose this time to keep them simple, but slightly fiery and brushed them only with chili oil.<\/p>\n

If you are tempted by this uncommon way to use wonton skins, you might also like to transform them into these edible cups:<\/p>\n

Edible Wonton Cups<\/a><\/p>\n

TIPS: Wonton skins or wrappers can be found in frozen food section in most Asian grocery shops. I find them here also in bigger “normal” supermarkets. They thaw quite quickly (usually two hours at room temperature).<\/p>\n

Preparation: 15 minutes<\/em><\/p>\n

Ingredients (40 chips):<\/em><\/p>\n

10 wonton skins<\/em><\/p>\n

1 tablespoon oil (I have used chili oil)<\/em><\/p>\n

Preheat the oven to 180\u00b0C.<\/p>\n

Brush wonton wrappers with oil, piling them up and slightly pressing so that you brush only one side of each sheet, but both sides end up oily.<\/p>\n

\n

Cut the pile into four equal triangles (or into another shape of your choice).<\/p>\n

Place the pieces on baking paper.<\/p>\n

Bake for about 5 minutes until golden.<\/p>\n

Beware! They burn very quickly, so watch the first batch closely (the time depends on your oven).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
