Raspberry Nutella Wontons
by Katie Chin, Tastemaker in Residence
Oh yum! How can this not be delicious? My kids love Nutella as a special treat and one day I was watching them devour some of it spread on a bagel while I was eating a bowl of raspberries and then boom! I got the idea to combine these two luscious things in a wonton for my new cookbook “Everyday Chinese Cookbook: 101 Delicious Recipes from My Mother’s Kitchen.” I just shot a how-to video of this recipe on littlethings.com.
