Date and sesame wantons, these sweet wontons originate from the cantonese region, and traditionally stuffed with walnuts and dates. In this recipe, dates are mixed in with butter, brown sugar and toasted sesame seeds. You could add in chopped walnuts too. These are stuffed into wonton wrappers scrunched into money bags and fried in hot oil. Coat them in powdered sugar and eat them hot- they taste a lot like baklava, the famed lebanese dessert. And if you are serving it as dessert after a chinese meal, serve a few of them alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It tastes delicious!
