Ingredients
- Vegetable Oil, for frying
- 8 ounces cream cheese, 1 package, softened
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- 2 teaspoon diced green onion
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten
- sweet and sour sauce, for dipping
Instructions
- Fill a large pot over medium-high heat with vegetable oil until the oil is 2 inches deep. Oil should be around 350℉.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, garlic powder, sugar and green onion.
- Place wonton wrappers on a clean, flat surface.
- Drop a teaspoon of cream cheese mixture in the middle of each wonton wrapper.
- Beat egg and brush the edges of the wonton wrappers with egg.
- Pinch the corners of each wonton wrapper together in the center.
- Place 6-8 wontons at a time in the hot oil, turning them as needed, until evenly browned (about 3-5 minutes).
- Carefully remove wontons from hot oil and place on a plate covered with a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
- Serve with sweet and sour sauce.
Notes
Use a frying thermometer to ensure your oil is at the correct temperature. If your oil is too hot, the edges of the wontons could burn.
