Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 pound Ground sausage
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 24 Wonton wrappers
- 2 Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 tablespoons Water (for sealing wrappers)
Instructions
In a medium skillet, cook the ground sausage over medium heat until fully browned. Break it into small crumbles as it cooks, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, soy sauce, and garlic powder. Mix until well blended.
Set up a workstation with the wonton wrappers and a small bowl of water. Place one wonton wrapper on a flat surface.
Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the sausage and cheese filling into the center of the wonton wrapper.
Using your fingertip or a small pastry brush, moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with water.
Fold the wonton wrapper diagonally to form a triangle and press the edges firmly to seal. Optionally, pinch the two outer corners together for a more decorative shape.
Repeat the filling and sealing process with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.
In a deep frying pan or medium-sized pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check for accuracy.
Carefully lower a few wontons at a time into the hot oil using a slotted spoon. Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally for even cooking.
Remove the wontons from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining wontons, ensuring not to overcrowd the oil.
Serve the sausage and cheese wontons hot, with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or soy sauce.
