Chinese Fried Wonton Recipe

ground meat (chicken, turkey, beef, lamb, pork)

ginger

garlic (finely minced)

onion

soy sauce

oyster sauce

kale (leaf only or vegetables of your choice)

water

wonton wrappers (defrosted)

cooking oil

In a large bowl, add the meat, ginger, garlic, green onions, soy sauce, oyster sauce, curry powder and kale and mix well to combine. To make the egg wash, in a small bowl, add the water and egg and whisk with a fork.

To assemble the wontons, place a wonton wrapper flat in the palm of your hand. If frying, add 1 teaspoon of mixture to the center of the wrapper. If boiling, add 1 tablespoon of the mixture. Dip a finger in the egg wash, and paint all 4 edges with the wash. Fold the wonton in half, corner to opposite corner to make a triangle. Seal tightly all around. Make sure there are no air pockets or holes in the wonton. Fold the longer two triangle points together and seal to make the wonton shape.

Place folded wonton on a clean, dry plate or baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap to avoid drying out. When wontons are all folded, you can store or freeze.

To fry wontons, add 1 to 1 1/2 inches of cooking oil to a wok or pot. Heat the oil until it reaches 375F. Add a few wontons to the oil to fry, turning occasionally until they are golden brown. Remove them to a draining rack placed over a baking sheet so they can drain excess oil.

To boil wontons, see the recipe direction #6 from the Pork and Spinach Wontons recipe.

These three-ingredient cream cheese wontons are crispy, creamy, and completely irresistible. Pair them with sweet chili sauce for an extra kick, or enjoy them as is. A tasty appetizer and easy to make!

Cream Cheese Wontons

oz cream cheese

Wonton wrappers

Vegetable oil

Sweet chili sauce (optional)

Fill the wontons

Place about a teaspoon of cream cheese in the center of each wonton wrapper. I simply snip the corner off the cream cheese package and squeeze a small dollop of cream cheese directly onto the wonton wrapper.

Fold the wontons

Brush the edges of the wonton with water using your finger or pastry brush. Bring in the opposite corners together. Pinch to seal. Repeat with the other pair of corners. Pinch all the seams together to seal.

Deep fry the wontons

In a deep pan or fryer, heat oil to 350°F. Make sure the oil is deep enough to fully submerge the wontons. Add a few wontons at a time to the hot oil. Fry for one and a half minutes, or until they’re golden and crispy, turning occasionally for even cooking. The wontons tend to float so push down with a large utensil. Remove and drain on paper towels or wire rack. Repeat until all wontons are fried.

Serve

immediately for best results, either as is or with a side of chili sauce for dipping.
