Cream Cheese Wontons
Description
The recipe starts with softening cream cheese, then mixing it with diced green onions, garlic powder, and salt until smooth. A teaspoon of this filling is placed into the center of each wonton wrapper, which is moistened at the edges with water to seal into a star shape.
The wontons are fried in neutral oil heated to a medium-high temperature, submerging the wrappers partially and frying them for 2 to 3 minutes until evenly golden and crispy. Draining on paper towels removes excess oil before serving.
These wontons can be served plain or accompanied with dipping sauces such as sweet and sour, adding a complementary tang to the creamy filling. Their crisp outside contrasted with the soft cheese inside makes them appealing for casual gatherings or appetizers.
Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) cream cheese softened, package
- 2 tablespoons green onion diced
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- wonton wrappers
- neutral cooking oil for frying, generic cooking oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl add 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, 2 tablespoons diced green onion, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Using an electric hand mixer beat the ingredients until creamy.
- Lay the wonton wrappers on a non-stick surface. Dip your finger in a bowl of water and wet the edges of the wonton wrapper.
- Add about a teaspoon of the cream cheese filling and bring up each corner creating a star and seal tightly.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, pour the oil into the saucepan filling it about ½ inch up the sides. Heat to medium-high heat.
- Add the wontons to the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set on a paper towel lined plate. Serve with sweet and sour sauce if desired.
