Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg and 1 tablespoon water to make an egg wash.
  • Place one wonton wrapper on a clean, dry surface with a point facing you (diamond orientation). Keep the remaining wrappers covered with a damp towel.
  • Put one piece of chocolate near the top corner of the wrapper (the corner farthest from you).
  • Using a small brush or your finger, brush a very thin layer of the egg wash around the edges of the wrapper, leaving the center dry.
  • Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper up to meet the top corner, forming a triangle that encloses the chocolate. Gently press from the center outward to remove air pockets and press the edges together to seal. Make sure the wrapper is completely sealed.
  • Repeat steps 2–5 with the remaining wrappers and chocolate pieces. Keep the folded chocolate wontons covered under plastic wrap or a damp towel to prevent them from drying while you work.
  • In a wok or medium pot, pour in about 2 inches of vegetable oil. Heat the oil to 350°F (180°C).
  • Carefully slide a few wontons into the hot oil without crowding the pan. Fry for 1 1/2 minutes, then flip and fry for another 1 minute, or until both sides are golden brown and crisp.
  • Remove the wontons with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  • Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar and serve.
