INSTRUCTIONS
ORANGE-CHIPOTLE SAUCE *Plumped in 1/2 cup dry white wine. Combine all ingredients for filling. Place 1 ounce of filling on a wonton wrapper, brush the outside edge with water and place a second wrapper on top pressing the edges together to seal completely. Place on a sheet of waxed paper dusted with cornstarch and proceed to fill the rest. Preheat oil to 360 degrees and deep fry the wontons for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown and puffed. Serve immediately on warm plates with Orange-Chipotle Sauce and cilantro sprigs. Orange-Chipotle Sauce: In a saucepan over moderate heat reduce fresh juice by half and cool. Place remaining ingredients except the oil in a blender. Blend well and with motor running, slowly add the oil to form a smooth sauce. Yield: 40 wontons, serving 8 - 10 and approximately 3/4 cup sauce Store covered and refrigerated for up to a week. Recommended Wine: The sauce is pretty spicy so a Gewurztraminer or Riesling with some residual sugar and good acid is the choice here.

The wontons and sauce can be made ahead and frozen if desired. To freeze the wontons, place uncovered in a single layer on a parchment or waxed paper lined baking sheet and freeze until hard. Wontons can then be carefully placed in sealed freezer bags. Defrost in refrigerator before using.
