Ingredients
- For the wontons:
- 8 oz. cream cheese
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 scallions, finely chopped
- 1 pack wonton wrappers
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- For the dipping sauce:
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha (optional)
Preparation
Step 1
Instructions
Make the wonton filling by combining the cream cheese, sugar, salt, and scallions.
Assemble the wontons. Take each wrapper, and dampen the outer edges with a thin layer of water. Place a teaspoon of the cream cheese filling in the middle, and fold in half into a triangle. Bring the two corners on the long side of the triangle together, and seal with another dab of water. Continue until all the wontons are assembled.
Heat a couple inches of vegetable oil in a small pot until it reaches 375 degrees F. Fry the wontons in batches––about 2 minutes per batch––until golden brown. Definitely use a small pot for this and fry in multiple batches; you’ll use much less oil!
Make the dipping sauce by combining all the sauce ingredients, and serve with the wontons.
