Ingredients[]
- 1 package egg roll wrappers (4½ inches by 5½ inches - each wrapper makes 2 bow ties)
Syrup[]
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup corn syrup
- ½ cup honey
- ½ cup water
- 4 - 6 cups oil for deep-frying, as needed
Directions[]
- Lay out a wrapper so that the longer (5½ inch) sides are on the top and bottom, and the shorter (4½ inch) sides on the left and right.
- Cut each egg roll wrapper from top to bottom into 4 equal pieces.
- Using a paring knife, cut a ½ inch slit in the center of each piece.
- Using 2 pieces, one laid on top of the other, make a knot like a bow tie.
- (fold one end of the piece on top and thread it through the slit.
- Turn over, fold, and thread through the other way.
- Open the folded ends before deep-frying).
- Heat wok and add oil.
- Deep-fry the bow ties until golden brown, about 5 at a time.
- Drain on paper towels or a tempura rack if you have one.
- Boil the syrup ingredients in a pot on medium heat for about 5 minutes.
- Dip the bow ties into the boiling syrup (if the syrup isn't boiling the bow ties will be too sweet), and drain well.
- Set aside to harden.
- Serve cold.
- The bow ties can be stored in an air-tight container.
