Description
These three-ingredient cream cheese wontons are crispy, creamy, and completely irresistible. Pair them with sweet chili sauce for an extra kick, or enjoy them as is. A tasty appetizer and easy to make!
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese
- Wonton wrappers
- Vegetable oil for deep-frying
- Sweet chili sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Fill the wontons: Place about a teaspoon of cream cheese in the center of each wonton wrapper. I simply snip the corner off the cream cheese package and squeeze a small dollop of cream cheese directly onto the wonton wrapper.
- Fold the wontons: Brush the edges of the wonton with water using your finger or pastry brush. Bring in the opposite corners together. Pinch to seal. Repeat with the other pair of corners. Pinch all the seams together to seal.
- Deep fry the wontons: In a deep pan or fryer, heat oil to 350°F. Make sure the oil is deep enough to fully submerge the wontons. Add a few wontons at a time to the hot oil. Fry for one and a half minutes, or until they’re golden and crispy, turning occasionally for even cooking. The wontons tend to float so push down with a large utensil. Remove and drain on paper towels or wire rack. Repeat until all wontons are fried.
- Serve immediately for best results, either as is or with a side of chili sauce for dipping.
