oatmeal crisps with
pineapple-sesame salad
- 4 square wonton wrappers
- 1 egg white
- 2 tablespoons instant or quick-cooking oatmeal
- 1 cup finely diced ripe pineapple
- 1/2 cup finely diced cucumber
- 1 teaspoon white or black sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 of a red Thai chili
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Makes 16
1. Heat oven to 325. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the wonton wrappers into four triangular quarters, to make 16 triangles.
2. Lay the triangles on a nonstick baking sheet, and brush each one with egg white.
3. Sprinkle the oatmeal lightly over each triangle, then place the pan in the oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the wonton wrappers are crisp and golden.
4. In a small bowl, mix the remaining ingredients, and taste to adjust the salt/sweet/sour balance.
5. Remove crisps from oven, allow them to cool, then top each with a spoonful of pineapple salad.
