Instructions
The day before you plan to make this recipe, leave the milk chocolate in a warm place to make it slightly pliable.
Cut each bar into 8 chunks and, with your hands, try to form each chunk into a disk the size of a quarter with no sharp edges.
Lay the wonton skins out on a surface and 1 at a time; paint the edges with water. In the center of the wonton skin, place a disk of milk chocolate and a banana slice on top of the chocolate. Fold the wonton skin corner to corner to make a triangle and press together well to seal completely. Cover with plastic wrap and store chilled until ready to fry and serve, up to 10 hours ahead.
Heat the oil in a deep pot to 350 degrees. Drop the wontons into the oil, being careful not to crowd them (you may have to work in batches) and fry, turning often, until golden brown. Meanwhile, place the cinnamon sugar in a bowl.
Remove the wontons with a slotted spoon and immediately dredge them in the cinnamon sugar to coat heavily.
Serve right away with scoops of vanilla ice cream.
Recommended wine: Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Riesling
Asian on the menu? Try pairing with Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, and Riesling. The best wine for Asian food depends on the cuisine and dish - of course - but these acidic whites pair with a number of traditional meals, spicy or not. The Gabrielskloof Chenin Blanc with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.
Gabrielskloof Chenin Blanc
The 2019 Chenin Blanc was naturally fermented in 85% old barrels with minimal intervention, with the remainder undergoing fermentation in steel tanks. On the nose, green apples, lime zest, honey and wet stone. An elegant palate with balance, freshness and a delightful texture.
