Lay out wonton wrappers on a board.

Place a sliver of ham on each wrapper in the center.

Add a fish fillet cut into small chunks on top of the ham.

Place a sliver of banana alongside the fish on each wrapper.

Wrap the wonton wrappers by rolling them over and pressing them down.

No need for egg wash or water; the moisture in the wrapper will seal it.

Continue wrapping until all are done.

Lay the wrapped fish cigars fold side down onto a baking tray.

Put a piece of silicone baking paper into a heavy base pan and sprinkle with a little oil.

Heat the pan on medium heat and lay the fish cigars in the bottom.

Swish one fish cigar around to spread the oil.

Watch closely as they cook quickly; turn them over when they start to brown.

Cook until they are moist inside and crunchy outside.

Place cooked fish cigars onto a serving platter with lime wedges and Vietnamese dipping sauce.

For a steamed version, place fish cigars in a Thermochef aroma basket over boiling water.

Spray the plastic basket with oil before adding the fish cigars.

Cover with a lid and steam for about seven minutes, turning them over after that time.

Steam for another minute or so until ready to eat, and serve with sweet chili sauce and soy sauce.
