Jalapeño Popper Wontons Recipe

Ingredients

4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 jalapeno, diced. (You can also remove the seeds inside if you would like to cut down on the heat a bit)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
12 wonton wrappers
Little bowl of water for sealing wonton wrappers
Canola oil for frying

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat Canola oil in 2 qt pot. You will want about an inch of oil in the pot.
2. Mix cream cheese, jalapeno, garlic powder, white pepper and salt in a small bowl
3. Lay wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Place 1/2 teaspoon of filling into the center of the wonton. Use your finger to wet the sides of the wrapper. Then carefully pull opposite sides together to make a pointed top. Be sure to seal all sides, you don’t want any of the cream cheese coming out while you are frying them.
4. Once the oil is hot enough, add the wontons carefully. Fry until golden brown.
5. Serve with plum sauce (you can find this in the Asian food aisle of your local grocery store).
