Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 3 medium Jalapenos, finely diced
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Soy sauce
- 3 cups Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1 large Egg, beaten (for sealing)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, diced jalapenos, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly combined.
Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean, flat surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the filling mixture in the center of each wrapper.
Using a pastry brush or your fingertip, lightly brush the edges of each wonton wrapper with the beaten egg.
Fold the wonton wrappers into a triangle by bringing one corner to the opposite corner, enclosing the filling completely. Press the edges firmly to seal, ensuring no filling escapes.
For an optional decorative fold, bring the two wide corners of the triangle together and pinch them to create a neat pouch shape. Repeat with all wontons.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Test the oil with a small piece of wonton wrapper—if it sizzles and floats, the oil is ready.
Working in batches, carefully lower the wontons into the hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes per batch, turning occasionally, until the wontons are crisp and golden brown.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried wontons from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the Jalapeno Rangoon warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili, soy sauce, or ranch dressing.
