Instructions
Step-by-step guide to making this recipe
1

Heat oil in a deep-fat fryer or pour into a deep skillet on high temperature.

2

While oil is heating, lay out as many wrappers as you plan to use. Have a small bowl of water nearby to wet your fingers.

3

Put a small dab of cream cheese in one corner of each wrapper, about ½ inch from the edges. Use about 2 tsp for larger egg roll wrappers or 1 tsp for smaller wonton wrappers.

4

Using your fingers, wet the two edges nearest the cream cheese, then fold the other half down and seal the edges, making a triangle shape. Seal the edges tightly, but try to leave small gaps at the corners so the triangles will not expand so much that they burst.

5

Drop several wontons into hot oil at a time. Turn over when the edges start to brown and cook for another minute or two.

6

Set on paper towels to drain, then serve hot with sweet-and-sour sauce.

Notes
  • Vegetable oil or peanut oil works best.
