Hearts O'Palm Rangoons

Ingredients

• 8 oz wonton wrappers (18 to 22 sheets)
• 6 oz hearts of palm, finely chopped
• 3 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
• 2 tsp light soy sauce
• 1/8 tsp ground white pepper
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp fresh ginger, finely chopped
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 egg, beaten
• 3 cups neutral oil, for frying
• 1/2 cup sweet-and-sour sauce
• 1/4 cup hot mustard sauce

Directions

1. Combine hearts of palm, cream cheese, sesame oil, soy sauce, white pepper, sugar, ginger, and green onions.
2. Place 1 teaspoon filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold into a triangle, seal edges with beaten egg, and fold the side corners upward to form the traditional rangoon shape.
