Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Lobster meat (cooked and chopped)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tablespoons Green onions (thinly sliced)
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 20 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 1 piece Egg (beaten, for sealing)
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chopped lobster meat, softened cream cheese, green onions, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Lay a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the lobster and cream cheese filling in the center of the wrapper.
Brush the edges of the wonton wrapper lightly with the beaten egg to help seal.
Fold the wonton wrapper diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges together to seal tightly. If preferred, bring the two opposite corners of the triangle together and pinch to create a 'flower' shape.
Repeat until all the wrappers and filling are used.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add 3-4 wontons at a time to the hot oil, frying them for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried wontons to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the wontons warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or soy sauce.
