Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 oz. cream cheese ((225g))
2 teaspoons sugar
½ teaspoon salt
4 scallions ((finely chopped))
1 pack wonton wrappers
Vegetable oil ((for frying))
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon honey
½ teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon Sriracha ((optional))

Steps:

  • Make the wonton filling by combining the cream cheese, sugar, salt, and scallions.
  • Assemble the wontons. Take each wrapper, and dampen the outer edges with a thin layer of water. Place a teaspoon of the cream cheese filling in the middle, and fold in half into a triangle. Bring the two corners on the long side of the triangle together, and seal with another dab of water. Continue until all the wontons are assembled.
  • Heat a couple inches of vegetable oil in a small pot until it reaches 375 degrees F. Fry the wontons in batches--about 2 minutes per batch--until golden brown. Definitely use a small pot for this and fry in multiple batches; you'll use much less oil!
  • Make the dipping sauce by combining all the sauce ingredients, and serve with the wontons.

12 oz of soft cream cheese
1 bag (8 ounces) of Grilled and Ready Chicken, diced small
1 tablespoon garlic
3 tablespoons Simply Asia Kung Pao Stir-Fry Sauce
1 green onion, finely chopped
1 egg, beaten

In a large heavy pot start heating your oil to 375F. Use a deep fry thermometer to get a correct reading on the oil's temperature. 3. Working on wax paper, lay down your wonton wrapper. Using a pastry brush, brush a little of the beaten egg onto the sides of the wrapper. Place 1 teaspoon of the mixture in the middle of the wrapper. Pinch the sides up until the mixture is completely sealed inside the wrapper. Lay on a wire rack until you are ready to fry. Do this until you have used up all your wrappers. 4. Drop 4 or 5 of the wontons into the hot oil and fry until they are golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
