Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 sheets vegan wonton wrappers
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
1. Begin by cutting the vegan wonton wrappers into thin strips, approximately 1/2 inch wide. Lay them out in a single layer to prepare for frying.
2. In a large, deep skillet or pot, pour in the vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature.
3. Carefully add a few wonton strips into the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding, which can cause the strips to stick together and cook unevenly.
4. Fry the wonton strips for about 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil.
5. Place the fried wonton strips on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
6. Immediately season the wonton strips with sea salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika while they are still hot, ensuring an even coating.
7. Repeat the frying and seasoning process with the remaining wonton strips, monitoring the oil temperature and adjusting heat as necessary.
8. Allow the seasoned wonton strips to cool slightly before serving as a snack or topping for salads and soups.
