Recipes from China :: Chinese Desserts
1 1/2 (one and one-half) c. chopped prunes or dried apples
1 c. chopped dried apricots
1 1/2 (one and one-half) c. packed brown sugar
1 1/2 (one and one-half) c. flaked coconut
1 c. chopped almonds
24 wonton skins
Canola (or other vegetable) oil
Mix prunes, apricots, broth sugar, coconut and almonds. Place about 2 tsp. mixture in center of each wonton skin. Moisten edges with water. Fold each skin in half to form triangle; press edges firmly to seal. Cover to prevent drying.
Heat 1 to 1 1/2 in. oil to 360 degrees fahrenheit. Fry 3 to 4 wontons at a time, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side; drain. Cool thoroughly and stir in airtight container. Serve with ice cream or sherbet if desired.
Makes about 24 cookies.
