Units
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 20–24 wonton wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese, green onions, garlic powder, and salt until smooth.
- Place about 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.
- Brush the edges of the wrapper with beaten egg and fold into a triangle, pressing edges to seal and removing any air pockets.
- Optional: Bring the two corners of the triangle together and seal with more egg to create a traditional wonton shape.
- Heat oil in a deep skillet or saucepan to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the wontons in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with sweet and sour sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened for easy mixing and filling.
- Do not overfill the wrappers to prevent bursting while frying.
- These can be baked or air-fried as a lighter alternative.
