Description
Sushi Wonton Cones are a delightful fusion of sushi and wonton wrappers, filled with sushi rice, shrimp, avocado, and cucumber, making for a fun and easy appetizer.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sushi rice
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 12 wonton wrappers
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cucumber, julienned
- 1/2 pound cooked shrimp, chopped
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (optional)
- Soy sauce, for serving
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
- Chopped green onions, for garnish
Instructions
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice, then let it cool to room temperature.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly spray a muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Take a wonton wrapper and gently press it into the muffin tin to form a cone shape. Repeat with the remaining wrappers. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden and crispy. Allow to cool.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, mayonnaise, and sriracha (if using). Mix well.
- To assemble the cones, fill each wonton cone with a spoonful of sushi rice, followed by a layer of the shrimp mixture, avocado slices, and cucumber.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve with soy sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, substitute the shrimp with diced tofu or additional vegetables like bell peppers and carrots.
- Experiment with different sauces, such as teriyaki or spicy mayo, to customize the flavor of your cones.
