Step 1

Combine the cream cheese, sugar and onion powder.  Stir until well mixed.

Step 2

Place a wonton wrapper on a flat surface and drop a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into the center. Brush the edges of the wonton with the egg.

Step 3

Bring 2 opposite corners together in the middle of the wonton and pinch. Repeat with the other 2 corners and pinch to form a package shape.

Step 4

Repeat with the remaining wontons and cream cheese until all are filled.

Step 5

Heat 4 inches of oil in a deep pan to 350 degrees F.

Step 6

Fry 5-6 wontons at a time, turning them as needed to make sure they brown evenly. This process should take about 3-5 minutes.

Step 7

Drain the cooked wontons on paper towels and repeat the frying process with remaining wontons.

Step 8

Sprinkle with chives and serve immediately with dipping sauce of choice.
