Ingredients
For the wontons:
- 8 oz. cream cheese (225g)
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- ½ 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
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional)
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.
Notes
- Recipe makes about 3 dozen wontons.
