Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets High-protein wonton wrappers
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.25 cup Soy protein isolate powder
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and pour in the vegetable oil. Use a thermometer to heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
While the oil is heating, prepare the wonton strips. Take each wonton wrapper and cut them into strips approximately 1 inch wide. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a small mixing bowl, whip the egg whites until frothy. This can be done using a fork or small whisk.
In a separate shallow dish, combine the soy protein isolate powder, sesame seeds, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well.
Lightly spray the wonton strips with cooking spray. This will help the egg whites adhere properly.
Dunk each wonton strip first into the egg whites, ensuring both sides are coated, and then dredge them in the protein and sesame seed mixture until evenly covered.
Once the oil is heated to 350°F (175°C), carefully add the prepared wonton strips in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the wonton strips for about 2-3 minutes per side or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat the process with the remaining wonton strips.
Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your high-protein fried wonton strips as a crunchy snack or as a topping for your favorite dishes!
