Lemon or orange rind - 1 tsp (grated)
Orange juice - 1 tbsp

  • Put a roll of date mixture diagonally on each square of wonton wrappers, place corner of wrapper over and roll up, completely enclosing filling.
  • Twist ends of the pastry, when they are all made, heat the oil in wok and fry a few at a time in very hot oil, turning them until they are golden brown on all sides.
