These crispy treats are a favorite in my family. The flavoursome herbs in this recipe, as well as the chilli, give the wontons a nice kick.
Wontons are a great party snack. This recipe also freezes well. You can buy wonton wrappers in Asian supermarkets.
I found the idea for cheat's ravioli in Valli Little's recipe book 'faking it - how to cook delicious food without really trying'. Wonton Ravioli is a happy meduim - a great alternative to making pasta from scratch if you are time poor, and beats store bought ravioli hands down. I will definitely be making this again! my biggest critics (one of whom is an avid fresh pasta maker) also agree.
This recipe makes a huge batch - about 150 wontons - but you can freeze them and cook them later by steaming or deep frying.
These are a delightful homemade pork and prawn wonton that are steamed but you can also fry. We love them as an entree but have also used them as a finger food for parties.
