Holy long title Batman!! Anyway, I made these yesterday for the Super Bowl. What a game! While I was hoping the Falcons would win, it was an amazing game those last few minutes so I can't really be upset. These wontons turned out to be a lot simpler to make than I expected.
All I did was mix up the filling,
Fill and shape the wontons,
Line them on a baking sheet with a rack so air could flow around them on all sides, and stick them in the oven.
It was a bit time consuming to fill and bake them, but it wasn't difficult. And I only had one pop open during baking, so I'm calling that a win.
The sauce was equally easy. Mix everything up in a saucepan and cook until it thickens. Boom.
I have to say the hardest part of this recipe was probably just finding the wonton wrappers in the grocery store. And finding an oven safe cooling rack to use, but that's a whole other story. (Five stores later...) These could also be fried, but to be honest frying was a bit intimidating. Plus baking is healthier! And the verdict? They're good. Really good. It was a bit disappointing that we couldn't taste the coconut in them though. And personally I think they taste better when they've sat for a while. I liked them more after the trip up to my in laws' place for the game, but they're good warm too. I would like to try to punch up the coconut flavor, but that's really my only complaint. So these are definitely a 4 star treat.
