Ingredients:

Wontons:
  • 2 cups fresh yellow corn
  • 1/3 cup mayo
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 3 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • 2 teaspoon honey
  • 2 teaspoons tamari or soy sauce
  • chili flakes
  • 24-26 square wonton wrappers
  • avocado oil, for frying
  • Sesame Ginger Soy Sauce
  • 1/3 cup tamari or soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons hot chili oil
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onions or chives
Sweet Chili Mango Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup sweet Thai chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1/2 cup diced mango

Instructions:

  • 1. In a bowl, toss together the corn, mayo, mozzarella, basil, green onions, honey, tamari or soy sauce, and a pinch of chili flakes.
  • 2. To assemble, spoon 1 rounded teaspoon of filling onto each wrapper. Brush water around the edges of the wrapper, then fold the wonton over the filling to create a triangle. Pinch to seal. Repeat with the remaining filling.
  • 3. Fill a pan with 1-2 inches of oil over medium heat. When the oil sizzles a bit, it’s ready. Place each wonton, a few at a time, into the hot oil and fry 2-3 minutes per side or until crisp and browned. Drain on a paper towel lined plate.
