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.
