Step 1

Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean, dry surface. Place one strip of cheese and one strip of chili (green or hot, depending on your spice preference) onto each wrapper.

Step 2

Lightly moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper over the filling, pressing the edges together to seal completely. Ensure there are no gaps to prevent cheese from leaking out during frying. Let the sealed wontons rest for a few minutes before frying.

Step 3

Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry each wonton for 1-2 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced jalapeno, honey, and sesame oil. Let sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 5

Serve the crispy wontons hot, alongside the flavorful jalapeno-soy dipping sauce.
