Description
These crispy cream cheese wontons are a delicious appetizer that’s super easy to make at home. They’re golden on the outside, creamy on the inside, and always a crowd favorite. Perfect for parties, game nights, or when you’re just craving something crunchy and cheesy.
Ingredients
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 green onions, finely chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
24 wonton wrappers
Water (for sealing the wrappers)
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, green onions, garlic powder, sugar, and salt until smooth.
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Add about 1 teaspoon of filling to the center.
Dip your finger in water and wet the edges of the wrapper. Fold into a triangle or bring all corners to the center and pinch to seal.
Heat oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat (about 350°F).
Fry the wontons in batches, about 2-3 minutes each, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve hot with sweet chili sauce or soy sauce.
Notes
Don’t overfill the wrappers or they might burst while frying.
Make ahead tip: You can assemble the wontons and freeze them before frying.
Try adding a bit of crab meat for a tasty twist!
