Easy Cooking and Keep Healthy
Ingredients
- Vegetable shortening or oil, for frying
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions (green onions)
- Garlic powder (optional)
- Wonton wrappers
Directions
- Heat enough vegetable shortening or oil to fill 2 to 3 inches in a
medium pot to 350 degrees F. If you have an electric fryer, you can use
that.
- Beat together the cream cheese and scallions. If desired a touch of
garlic powder may be added for additional flavor. Spoon about 1 teaspoon
of cream cheese mixture onto a wonton wrapper. Fold the wonton by
brushing a little water over all of the edges of the wonton skin. Fold
the wonton diagonally into a triangle. Be sure to seal all of the edges
completely; this will keep the filling from running out of the wonton
when being cooked. Take the two opposite corners and press and twist
them together. You may need to tack them together by brushing with a
little water.
- When the shortening is heated, you can use a thermometer and test to
see that it is 350 degrees F, or you may test with a small piece of
wonton wrapper. If the wrapper bubbles immediately when dropped into the
hot fat, it is ready. Drop only 4 or 5 pieces at a time into the hot
fat. After about 1 minute, the wonton will begin to brown, then it will
brown rapidly, so be careful to remove it when it is lightly browned. If
your oil is shallow, you may need to flip over the wonton. Carefully
remove the wontons and drain briefly on paper towels before serving.
