Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 2 tbsp Scallions (finely chopped)
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Soy sauce
- 24 Won ton wrappers
- 1 Egg (beaten)
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cream cheese, scallions, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.
Lay out the won ton wrappers on a clean, flat surface. Keep a damp towel nearby to cover unused wrappers to prevent them from drying out.
Place about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese filling in the center of each won ton wrapper.
Brush the edges of each wrapper lightly with the beaten egg to act as a seal.
Fold the wrapper into a triangle by bringing opposite corners together, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Ensure there are no air bubbles around the filling. Optionally, bring the two side corners together and pinch to form a traditional won ton shape.
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Test the oil temperature by dropping a small piece of won ton wrapper into the oil—it should bubble and float to the top immediately.
Carefully add the won tons to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally for even cooking.
Remove the fried won tons with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the cream cheese won tons warm with sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or your dipping sauce of choice.
