Wonton Filling

Wonton Wrapping

Dipping Sauce

Method

Prepare Filling

  1. 1

    Mix the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, finely chopped green onions, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are combined and smooth.

Assemble Wontons

  1. 2

    Prepare Wontons

    Take a wonton wrapper and place it on a clean surface. Add about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese filling in the center of the wrapper.

  2. 3

    Seal the Wontons

    Dab a little water on the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal tightly. Make sure there are no air bubbles. Optionally, you can fold the corners of the triangle to the center and seal again for a decorative touch.

Fry Wontons

  1. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 5

    Fry Wontons

    Carefully add a few wontons to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Turn them occasionally for even cooking.

  3. 6

    Drain Wontons

    Once fried, remove the wontons with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serve

  1. 7

    Plate and Serve

    Arrange the crispy wontons on a serving platter and serve hot with sweet chili sauce on the side for dipping.
