CREAM CHEESE WONTONS

Time 40m

Yield 24 wontons

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon Sriracha or other hot sauce
1 teaspoon vinegar or rice wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
8 ounces cream cheese
1 tablespoon Sriracha or other hot sauce (more to taste)
2 green onions, light green and dark green parts, chopped
1 egg
24 wonton wrappers
Vegetable oil, for frying

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.

CREAM CHEESE WONTONS

Cream Cheese Wontons are a classic marriage of Chinese and American cuisines into one addictive appetizer, and they're dead simple to make at home.

Provided by Sarah

Categories     Appetizer

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 oz. cream cheese ((225g))
2 teaspoons sugar
½ teaspoon salt
4 scallions ((finely chopped))
1 pack wonton wrappers
Vegetable oil ((for frying))
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon honey
½ teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon Sriracha ((optional))

Steps:

  • Make the wonton filling by combining the cream cheese, sugar, salt, and scallions.
  • Assemble the wontons. Take each wrapper, and dampen the outer edges with a thin layer of water. Place a teaspoon of the cream cheese filling in the middle, and fold in half into a triangle. Bring the two corners on the long side of the triangle together, and seal with another dab of water. Continue until all the wontons are assembled.
  • Heat a couple inches of vegetable oil in a small pot until it reaches 375 degrees F. Fry the wontons in batches--about 2 minutes per batch--until golden brown. Definitely use a small pot for this and fry in multiple batches; you'll use much less oil!
  • Make the dipping sauce by combining all the sauce ingredients, and serve with the wontons.

CRABBY CREAM CHEESE WONTONS

Wonton wrappers are filled with cream cheese, crab meat (I use imitation, but you can use either), garlic, and onions. You just have to heat them so the cheese is melted hot. Don't overcook. Serve with rice and sweet and sour sauce. Good as an appetizer, or meal.

Tips:

  • Use wonton wrappers that are fresh and not dried out. If you are using dried wonton wrappers, be sure to soak them in water for a few minutes before using.
  • Be careful not to overfill the wontons. If you put too much filling in, they will be difficult to seal and may break open during cooking.
  • To make sure the wontons are sealed properly, wet the edges of the wrappers with water before folding them over. You can also use a fork to crimp the edges of the wontons to make sure they are sealed tightly.
  • Cook the wontons in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, or the wontons will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the wontons with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular dipping sauces for wontons include soy sauce, sweet and sour sauce, and chili sauce.

Conclusion:

Cream cheese wontons are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks and always a crowd-pleaser.
