Banana Wontons With Coconut Sauce Recipe

Ingredients for Banana Wontons With Coconut Sauce

• Wonton Wrapper
• Bananas
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Sweetened Flaked Coconut
• 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• ½ teaspoon coconut extract
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for frying)

How to Make Banana Wontons With Coconut Sauce

1. **Prepare the Filling:** In a medium bowl, mash 2 ripe medium bananas with a fork until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky. Stir in 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1 tablespoon shredded coconut.
2. **Make the Coconut Sauce:** In a small saucepan, combine ¾ cup coconut milk and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
3. **Thicken the Sauce:** In a separate small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup coconut milk and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until completely smooth. Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the simmering coconut milk, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens and begins to bubble (about 1-2 minutes).
4. **Finish the Sauce:** Remove from heat and stir in ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut and ½ teaspoon coconut extract. Set aside.
5. **Assemble the Wontons:** Place about 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of banana filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Brush the edges of the wrapper with water using your finger.
6. **Fold and Seal:** Fold the wonton wrapper in half to form a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers, keeping the folded wontons covered with a damp paper towel to prevent drying.
7. **Fry the Wontons:** Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the wontons in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 2 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
8. **Serve:** Remove the wontons from the skillet and place them on a serving plate. Drizzle generously with the coconut sauce and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
