Ingredients
- Lemon-Honey Sauce
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 Tbs. lemon zest
- Won Tons
- 1/2 cup finely chopped dried apricots
- 1/4 cup chopped dry-roasted cashews
- 1/4 cup chopped crystallized ginger
- 1 Tbs. brown sugar
- Cornstarch for dusting pan
- 16 won ton skins
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 4 cups (about) vegetable oil
- Cinnamon sugar or vanilla sugar
Preparation
- To make Lemon-Honey Sauce: Bring all ingredients to a simmer, stirring constantly, until honey is just dissolved. Let cool.
- To make Won Tons: Put apricots, cashews, ginger and brown sugar in bowl, and knead until combined.
- Dust baking sheet with cornstarch. Arrange several won ton skins on work surface. Place 2 tsp. filling in center of each. Brush edges with egg, and fold to form triangle; press to seal. Pull farthest corners together, forming smaller triangle. Moisten one corner; press to seal. Place won tons on baking sheet. Cover tightly with plastic, and refrigerate up to 24 hours, or freeze.
- Line platter with paper towels. Pour enough oil into heavy large pot to reach 3 to 4 inches up sides. Heat on high until oil reaches 360F; reduce heat, but maintain temperature. Fry won tons, turning occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden. Drain on paper towels. Dust with sugar. Serve immediately with sauce.
