Best Curried Scallop Wonton Cups Recipes

SOY-BUTTER SCALLOP WONTONS

Steps:

• For the wontons: Mix the scallops, jalapeño, garlic, green onions, sesame oil, salt, white pepper, soy sauce, sugar and cornstarch in a medium bowl to combine.
• To assemble the wontons, have a small cup of water on the side for sealing the edges of the wrappers. Place a wonton wrapper in your non-dominant hand so that it is oriented like a diamond. Add about 1 tablespoon of filling to the center of the wrapper. Dab a little water along the top edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle. Press the edges tightly. Dab the 2 ends of the triangle with water and fold them together so that they touch. Pinch tightly to seal. Place the wonton on a lightly floured tray or plate and repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Boil the wontons in batches until floating and fully cooked, 4 to 5 minutes. Strain out the wontons and transfer to a larger serving bowl or platter.
• For the soy-butter sauce: Combine the butter and chile flakes in a medium saucepan. Melt the butter over medium heat and bring to a simmer; continue to simmer for about 1 minute. Turn off the heat and add the soy sauce.
• Pour the soy-butter sauce over the wontons, toss to evenly coat and garnish with chopped green onions.

CRISPY BAKED WONTON CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Brush oil on both sides of each wonton wrapper or use an oil mister to mist each side of the wonton wrapper.
• Carefully tuck the wrapper evenly into a well of a standard sized cupcake pan. (You'll need two pans for all 24 wonton cups.)
• Bake 8 minutes or until cups are crispy and golden brown. Make sure to check that the bottom of each wonton cup is crispy. Allow to cool 5 minutes before removing from pan.
• Cool and stuff each wonton cup with the fillings of your choice!

WONTON TACO CUPS

Steps:

• For the wonton cups: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Brush 12 cups of a mini muffin pan with the butter. Fit 1 wonton wrapper into each cup, folding the sides as needed.
• In a small bowl, toss together the beans, green chiles, chili powder and lime juice. Spoon some of the bean mixture into each cup, about a heaping tablespoon each. Bake until the filling is warmed through, about 12 minutes. Remove the pan and top each cup with a pinch of cheese. Return the pan to the oven and continue to bake until the cheese is melted and the wontons are golden, another 5 minutes.
• For the toppings: Let the taco cups cool in the pan for a minute or two. Transfer the taco cups to a platter and top each with some avocado, pico de gallo, a small dollop of sour cream, hot sauce, if using, and cilantro.

CURRY SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a wok over medium temperature and saute garlic, onion and capsicum a few minutes.
• Add scallops, season with pepper and sprinkle curry powder over the top, mix well and cook around one minute stirring to cover scallops with the curry powder.
• Reduce temperature a little, add cream, milk and wine and cook gently around 5 minutes.
• Add flour and cook around 5 minutes more or until thickened.

CURRIED SCALLOP CAKES

• Heat enough vegetable oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat to come 1/4 inch up sides of pan. Working in batches, sauté scallop cakes until golden and cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer scallop cakes to paper towels to drain. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Cool, then cover and refrigerate. Reheat on baking sheet in 350°F oven 8 minutes.) Transfer scallop cakes to platter.
