To Bake

Notes

  • Bring the cream cheese to room temperature before making the filling. 
  • Finely chop the green onions before adding to the mixture. 
  • Don’t overfill wontons or they will be difficult to seal and the filling will ooze out during frying. 
  • When folding the cream cheese wontons, don’t over moisten the edges or the wontons can become soggy.
  • Spray the tray with a light coating of oil before adding the wontons to prevent them from sticking. 
  • Place finished wontons under a damp paper towel while you work to keep them from drying out. 
  • Leave space between the wontons or they may stick together and become chewy instead of crispy.
