Steps:
- For the dipping sauce: Mix together the honey, soy sauce, Sriracha, vinegar and sesame oil in a small bowl and set aside.
- For the wontons: In the bowl of a mixer (or you can do it by hand), mix together the cream cheese, Sriracha and green onions until totally combined (scrape the mixer bowl if necessary). In a separate bowl, mix together the egg and 1/2 cup water.
- One at a time, assemble the wontons: Place approximately 1/2 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture on one corner of a wonton wrapper. Use your finger to "paint" the egg wash all around the edges of the wrapper. Roll the wrapper on a diagonal, starting with the cream cheese corner and stopping when half the wrapper is rolled and the cream cheese mixture is inside. Bring up the 2 ends and use the egg wash to stick them together. Allow the remaining pointed end to naturally tuck backward. (The wontons should resemble tortellini.) As you work, place the assembled wontons under plastic wrap or a light towel to keep them from drying out.
- Heat 2 to 3 inches of vegetable oil in a large saucepan or medium skillet until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers just under 350 degrees F. (You don't want the oil too hot or it will burn the wontons! Experiment with a spare sheet of wonton wrappers to check.)
- In batches of 4 or 5 at a time, fry the wontons for 45 seconds to 1 minute, flipping carefully midway through to make sure they brown evenly. Remove them when you think they still could stand to slightly brown a teeny bit more (because they will slightly brown in the seconds after you remove them from the pan!). Drain the wontons on a paper towel. Repeat with the remaining batches.
- It's best to wait 5 to 10 minutes before serving the wontons, as the cream cheese filling can be quite hot. Serve with the dipping sauce.
BAKED CREAM CHEESE WONTONS
One of my favorite guilty pleasures is cream cheese won tons. Whenever I eat at chinese buffets I always fill my plate with these. Unfortunately they are SO not good for you. So when I came across a low fat version I knew I absolutely had to try them. They exceeded every single one of my expectations. These are beyond amazing. You would honestly never know this was diet friendly. My sister and I made them for girls night and we ate the entire pan ourselves.

BAKED CRAB WONTONS
These little crab bites put a smile on everyone's face. My family loves them for their size, texture and taste. I love them because they're quick and simple to make. They even won first prize in a cooking competition. Instead of baking them in the oven, you can deep fry them. -Danielle Arcadi, Peoria, Arizona

Tips:
- Choose the right wonton wrappers: Thinner wrappers will give you a crispier wonton, while thicker wrappers will be more chewy. You can also use wonton wrappers that are already colored, such as spinach or beet wrappers, for a more festive look.
- Don't overfill the wontons: Too much filling will make the wontons difficult to fold and seal, and they may burst open during baking. Aim for about 1 teaspoon of filling per wonton.
- Seal the wontons tightly: Make sure to press the edges of the wontons together firmly to seal them. This will prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
- Bake the wontons until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a crispy exterior.
- Serve the wontons warm: Baked cream cheese wontons are best served warm, when the filling is still gooey and melted. You can serve them with a variety of dipping sauces, such as sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, or ranch dressing.
