This exotic combination pools such Asian ingredients as Chinese won ton skins, Thai peanut sauce and Japanese fresh edamame in an open-faced “sandwich” that works well as a light lunch or supper. The won ton skins brown within seconds, so avoid overcooking them. An accompaniment of seasoned noodles followed by fresh fruit and fortune cookies for dessert complete the menu.
Ingredients
- 6 won ton skins, about 3 inches in diameter
- 4 oz. Thai-flavored baked tofu, diced
- 5 oz. precooked edamame
- 1/4 cup cilantro leaves
- 3 Tbs. dry-roasted peanuts
- 3 Tbs. Thai peanut sauce
Preparation
Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. When hot, fry won ton skins until golden. Using tongs, turn skins over, and fry for several seconds on other side. Remove from heat, and place on paper towels to blot extra oil. Set aside.
Combine tofu, edamame, cilantro leaves, peanuts and peanut sauce in mixing bowl, stirring well to combine. Divide evenly, mound mixture on skins and serve.
