  "A Chinese won-ton wrapper around Italian ingredients results in good 
  American eating." 
   
  In a small bowl, combine egg, ricotta cheese, salami, mozzarella cheese, 
  oregano, salt and pepper.  Place a won-ton wrapper at an angle with 1 
  corner facing you.  Spoon about 1 TABLESPOON cheese mixture in center of 
  wrapper.  Lightly brush edges with water.  Fold right and left corners 
  inward, overlapping slightly.  Then bring bottom and top corners together, 
  overlapping slightly in middle. Repeat until all ingredients are used. 
   
  Heat oil in a large skillet.  Fry a single layer of envelopes at a time, 
  until golden on both sides.  Remove from skillet; immediately sprinkle tops 
  with Parmesan cheese.  Drain on paper towels.  Repeat until all are cooked. 
  Serve warm.  Makes 18 to 20 servings.

  [We made these, and they turned out just fine.  They're really an appetizer 
  or part of a varied buffet - don't try to use them as the entire meal! 
  They're too strongly flavored for that, and you'll be sick of them by the 
  time you've had 6 or 10.  Definitely save this for when you're 
  entertaining, not just deciding what's for dinner tonight.]
