FRESH-MEX CORN WONTONS



Fresh-Mex Corn Wontons image

Hundreds of readers cooked with every kind of corn they could get their hands on for our June/July 2009 recipe contest: corn on the cob, creamed corn, cornmeal, corn oil, even dried corn husks. Elizabeth Spano from Lyndhurst, NJ, really gave the secret ingredient its due with her fresh corn wontons, Southwestern deep-fried pockets inspired by meals she ate during the eight years she lived in Arizona. She serves them with a zesty lime dip, made with cilantro from her own garden. ¿I like appetizers that I can eat in one or two bites,¿ says Elizabeth, who often makes her prize dish for friends. Her best tip: Treat the wonton wrappers like pastry dough and keep them in the fridge until you¿re ready to use them¿they¿ll be much easier to handle.

Time 45m

Yield 36 wontons

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 ears corn, husked
1 small lime
1 1/2 cups sour cream
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
2 teaspoons hot sauce
Kosher salt
36 square wonton wrappers
2 plum tomatoes, diced (about 3/4 cup)
1 medium avocado, diced (about 3/4 cup)
1/2 cup finely diced red onion
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Place the corn in a steamer basket set over a saucepan of simmering water. Cover and steam 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, grate the lime zest into a small bowl and squeeze in 1 tablespoon lime juice. Add the sour cream, cilantro, hot sauce and 1/4 teaspoon salt and mix well; set the dip aside.
  • Remove the corn from the steamer basket and let cool slightly, then cut the kernels off the cobs. Combine with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl.
  • Line a large baking sheet with paper towels, then arrange the wonton wrappers on top in a single layer. Place 1 teaspoon corn, 1/2 teaspoon tomato, 1/2 teaspoon avocado and 1/4 teaspoon red onion in the center of each wrapper.
  • Heat about 1 1/2 inches of vegetable oil in a large pot until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees (or place a wooden skewer in the oil to test the temperature; bubbles should form around it).
  • Moisten the edges of each wonton wrapper with water, then fold in half diagonally to enclose the filling and form a triangle; press gently to seal. Working in batches, lower the wontons into the hot oil with tongs and fry about 1 minute. Flip and fry another 30 seconds, or until light golden. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve with the cilantro-lime dip.

SOY-BUTTER SCALLOP WONTONS



Soy-Butter Scallop Wontons image

Eating copious amounts of dumplings on Lunar New Year symbolizes wealth for the year ahead because the small parcels of dough filled with protein and vegetables resemble bags of money. You won't have a problem eating all of these scallop wontons tossed in a rich soy-butter sauce. The filling is a simple yet flavorful blend of scallops (which on their own symbolize wealth due their round shape and golden color when seared) and minced jalapeños for a gentle heat and aromatics. The sauce is not traditional, but the rich butter bloomed with chile flakes and salty soy sauce complements the natural sweetness and oceanic flavors of the scallop wontons. Remember, the more dumplings you eat, the richer you will be!

Time 1h

Yield 50 wontons

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound scallops, finely chopped
1 jalapeño, minced
4 garlic cloves, minced
4 green onions, whites and greens chopped, plus more for garnish
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
50 square wonton wrappers
All-purpose flour, for dusting
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon chile flakes
1/3 cup soy sauce

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.

Time 1h50m

Yield 36 wontons

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 ounces ground lean pork
8 ounces large (16/20) shrimp, peeled, deveined and finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped Chinese chives
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon peeled and grated ginger
1 tablespoon Shaohsing rice wine or dry sherry
2 heaping teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Freshly ground white pepper
Cornstarch, for dusting
36 wonton wrappers, 3-inch square
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 heaping tablespoon Guilin chili sauce
1 tablespoon finely chopped chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Cook's Note: Chinese chives are also known as garlic chives or Japanese nira.
  • For the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the pork, shrimp, chives, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, ginger, rice wine, cornstarch, sesame oil and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
  • For the wontons: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and dust lightly with cornstarch. Take 1 wonton wrapper and place 1 1/2 teaspoons filling in the center. Brush the edges of the wrapper with the beaten egg, then gather up the sides and mold around the filling, making a ball shape and twisting the top to secure. Repeat with the remaining wrappers, lining them up on the prepared baking sheet. Place the wontons in the freezer for an hour to firm them up before cooking. Once frozen for an hour, you can cook them or transfer them to an airtight container and freeze until you are ready to use.
  • For the chili sauce: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce and chili sauce and set aside.
  • Bring a wok halfway full with water to a boil, and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the wontons in batches until they float to the surface, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon. Garnish with the chives and serve immediately with the chili dipping sauce.
