These crispy and creamy wontons are stuffed with a savory cream cheese filling, making them the perfect appetizer for any occasion. Fried until golden brown and crispy, these wontons are sure to be a hit at your next party or casual gathering.
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped (optional)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 20 pieces wonton wrappers
- water as needed for sealing wontons
- oil for frying vegetable or canola oil
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, green onions (if using), garlic powder, sugar, and salt. Stir until smooth and well mixed.
- Place a small spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper. Be careful not to overfill.
- Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper into a triangle shape, or bring the corners together to form a pouch. Press the edges firmly to seal.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 350°F (175°C). Carefully drop the wontons into the hot oil, frying in batches for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the fried wontons from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
