Fried Cream Cheese Wontons

Updated at: Thu, 17 Aug 2023 07:37:26 GMT

Step 1

Defrost the wonton wrappers by setting on the counter at room temp for about 30 minutes.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, using a spoon, stir together cream cheese, garlic powder and sugar until combined.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk up your egg with 1 Tbsp of water. Set nearby.

Step 4

Place about 2 tsp of cream cheese mixture in the middle of each wonton. Dip your finger in the egg mixture and dab a little onto the center part of each side. Press opposing sides together and pinch in the center to enclose the cream cheese.

Step 5

Don't worry if they flop over a bit, they'll perk up when you fry them.

Step 6

In a heavy-bottomed deep pan, pour 3-4 inches of vegetable oil. Heat on medium until 350°F, using a candy thermometer.

Step 7

Once oil is hot, use a slotted spoon or frying spoon strainer to gently place 4-5 wontons in at a time and leave for about 1 minute until lightly browned. If they flip or turn, gently coax them so the points are up and the filling stays in.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove wontons from the oil and place on a cooling rack with a cookie sheet or paper towels underneath to catch the dripping oil.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining wontons until they're all fried. Watch your temperature as you fry and adjust your heat as needed to keep it close to 350°F.

Step 10

I like to serve immediately, but you can keep them in a warm oven up to 30 minutes to keep them hot for whenever you're ready to serve. Enjoy!!!!
