Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup canned clams, drained and chopped
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons green onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 20 wonton wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing edges)
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (for dipping sauce)
- 1.5 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for dipping sauce)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped clams, cream cheese, green onion, soy sauce, and garlic powder. Mix well until fully combined.
Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean, flat surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the clam filling in the center of each wrapper.
Brush the edges of each wonton wrapper with the beaten egg to help seal it.
Fold the wonton wrapper diagonally into a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Make sure no air is trapped inside and the edges are tightly sealed to avoid leaking during frying.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the wonton triangles in small batches, about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
To prepare the dipping sauce, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and chili flakes (if using) in a small bowl.
Serve the crispy clam wonton triangles warm with the dipping sauce on the side.
