Description
Crispy cream cheese wontons filled with a creamy savory mixture, perfect as an appetizer or snack.
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 20-24 wonton wrappers
- Oil, for frying
- Optional: dipping sauce (sweet and sour sauce or soy sauce)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, green onions, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Mix until smooth and well-blended.
- Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean, dry surface. Place a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each wrapper.
- Moisten the edges of the wrappers with water. Fold them in half diagonally to create a triangle and press the edges firmly to seal.
- In a deep skillet or pot, heat oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place the filled wontons in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding, for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Drain the fried wontons on paper towels and serve hot.
Notes
For a lighter option, swap cream cheese with ricotta or a dairy-free alternative. For perfectly sealed wontons, work on a dry surface to prevent sticking.
