Cheat’s Sweet Egg Twists

Ingredients:

• 20 wonton wrappers, or any you like
• honey, or maple syrup, to taste
• oil, for deep-frying

Method:

• Fold each wonton wrapper into half. Cut a slit in the middle of each wrapper, leaving about 2½cm edge at each end. Thread one end reversely through the slit. You’ll get a bow-tie shape.
• Bring a pot of oil to just boil. Put the twisted wonton wrappers in batches. Deep-fry them over medium heat until light yellow. Drain out with a strainer or slotted spoon. Place on kitchen paper to absorb excess oil and let them cool completely. When served, drizzle honey or maple syrup over the egg twists. Enjoy!

Notes:

• I used to place one or two kitchen papers on a wire rack. Place the deep-fried egg twists on the kitchen paper. It helps to absorb any excess oil, and the twists stay crispy as air circulation brings away the moist.
• If not served immediately, the twists can be kept in an air-tight container for later use. Just drizzle honey or syrup when it’s time to serve.
