Strawberry Rangoons
Ingredients
6–8 fresh small strawberries (rinsed)
1/4 cup strawberry cream cheese spread
12 won ton skins (from Produce)
plastic wrap
3 tablespoons canola oil
cinnamon sugar blend (optional)
Steps
- Remove stem caps from strawberries. Cut berries into small 1/4-inch-pieces (about 1/4 cup); place in small bowl. Stir cream cheese in gently until blended.
- Lay one won ton skin flat on clean work surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the strawberry mixture in center of the skin; do not over fill. Moisten a 1/4-inch-strip along each outside edge of skin. Fold one corner of the skin, over the filling, and press it against the opposite corner to form a triangle. Press edges together tightly to seal; repeat with remaining skins and filling. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside until ready to cook.
- Preheat oil in medium sauté pan on medium-high 3-4 minutes. Add 3–4 rangoons (do not crowd pan); cook 1–2 minutes on each side, turning once, or until crisp and golden. Drain on absorbent paper. Cook remaining rangoons. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, if desired, and serve warm.
