- Spoon the wilted cole slaw mixture into the middle of wonton wrappers. Pull up the sides and pinch the middle together to make a purse.
- Add purses to heated oil and cook until the bottom is golden brown.
- Once the purses are browned, add reduced-sodium chicken broth and cook until the purses are tender and translucent.
- In a small bowl, whisk together: rice wine (mirin), vegetable or olive oil, wasabi paste, hot mustard (not powder), and grated fresh ginger.
