FRIED WON TON CHIPS
When I decided to make Egg Drop Soup, of course I had to make to chips to go with it!!! It's amazing that something sooo simple to make is just sooo darn good!!! I use the Frieda's brand. The LaSoya brand does not taste as good, nor do they fry as well. Be sure to buy the freshest date possible, because as they get old, they...

Steps:
- 1. Heat oil. I use a Fry Daddy (with a basket) that is set to the hottest setting (400-450 degrees).
- 2. Remove the wrappers from the package. I do this by turning the package upside down, and using the top of my knife to cut an "X" from corner to corner.
- 3. Carefully divide the stack in half, making 2 stacks, keeping them perfectly aligned. (I use a flexible mat.)
- 4. Using a large knife with a wide straight blade, begin at the top of the stack, and make one swift cut from top to bottom. Repeat 2 more cuts, and this will yield 4 stacks.
- 5. Turn your cutting surface one-quarter turn, and make 3 more cuts, to yield 16 stacks of squares.
- 6. To separate for frying, carefully scoop up handfuls of cut pieces, raise your arms and just drop them onto cutting mat. Continue this until all pieces are separated.
- 7. Once oil has reached at least 400 degrees (or the light goes off of Fry Daddy) drop a handful of squares into the hot oil. Using a long handle fork, IMMEDIATELY and CONTINUOUSLY, gently stir and separate the chips to promote even cooking.
- 8. When they JUST BEGIN to turn LIGHT brown, remove them from the oil, (if using a frying basket, let drain over pot while shaking to remove as much oil as possible) and place into container that has been lined with paper towels. They only take a few seconds to cook!! They will continue to darken after being removed from the oil.
- 9. After each batch has been fried, repeat steps 4-8 for the 2nd stack. (I use separate air tight storage containers for each stack.) Allow chips to cool thoroughly before covering. They will keep for a couple of days ... but are best when eaten the 1st day. Ummmmmm...soooo light and crunchy!!!!!!

Steps:
- Turn oven on to 350 degrees F.
- Cut each Won Ton wrapper into triangles.
- On a non stick baking sheet, line with tin foil, shaping into a fan , or ridges.
- Place the pieces of Won Ton wrappers over the foil, letting them fall over the foil. This will give you rippled chips.
- Or you can just lie them on the pan for flat chips.
- In a small bowl mix the olive oil, garlic, and oregano ( could use basil), and lightly brush this over each won ton wrapper.
- Sprinkle with the grated cheese.
- Bake in the oven for about 8 minutes or until golden, just the way you like them.
- Use hot pads to remove from oven, and tongs to remove the chips on to a rack to cool completely.
- Make a second and third batch until all the won tons are baked.
- Turn off the oven.
- Enjoy munching as a snack or with a great chilli, or bean soup recipe.
Tips:
- Choose the right wonton wrappers. Look for wonton wrappers that are thin and delicate, as they will fry up crispy. You can find wonton wrappers in the Asian section of most grocery stores.
- Cut the wonton wrappers into even squares. This will help them fry evenly. You can use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to cut the wonton wrappers.
- Season the wonton wrappers. You can season the wonton wrappers with salt, pepper, or other spices before frying them. This will add flavor to the chips.
- Fry the wonton wrappers in hot oil. The oil should be hot enough to cause the wonton wrappers to sizzle immediately. Fry the wonton wrappers for 1-2 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Drain the wonton chips on paper towels. This will help to remove any excess oil from the chips.
- Serve the wonton chips immediately. Wonton chips are best served fresh and crispy. You can serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or ranch dressing.
Conclusion:
Wonton chips are an easy and delicious snack that can be made with just a few simple ingredients. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or movie nights. With a little creativity, you can also use wonton chips to make other dishes, such as wonton nachos or wonton tacos. So next time you are looking for a tasty and unique snack, give wonton chips a try!
