Most people’s first (and maybe only) encounter with folding origami is the crane. Here’s an edible variation from this blog, courtesy of my friend Laura:
Play with your food: Edible Origami. Crane croutons for your salad. Crispy wonton wrappers add cheerful crunch to an asian salad, but shouldn’t they be… more interesting? Presented here is the ideal upgrade. No more must you clutter your salad with amorphous crispies or chow mein noodles to obtain the requisite crunch: Crane Croutons will be your piece de resistance.
Amorphous crispies are really not that bad. I eat at least a bag a week. The closest I’ve gotten to folding my food is the weekly omelet. I think that’s a mountain fold with egg white peaks.
