Steps:
- Pour about 1-1/2 to 2 inches of oil into a deep, heavy-bottomed pot. Heat to 360 degrees F, clipping a candy thermometer to the side of the pot to regulate the temperature.
- While the oil is heating, cut as many wonton wrappers as you would like to serve into 3/4-inch wide strips. Keep wontons covered with a towel while you finish heating the oil.
- Line a baking sheet or cooling rack with a double layer of paper towels. Set aside.
- When the oil reaches temperature, carefully add a handful of wonton strips to the pot. They will immediately puff up. Fry for 1-2 minutes, using a spider strainer or slotted spoon to move them around in the pot. When they're golden brown on all sides, drain them with the spider or slotted spoon and transfer them to the paper towel-lined baking sheet to cool.
- Let the oil return to 360 degrees F between each batch of wonton strips. (The temperature will drop about 10 degrees to 350 when the wontons are added.)
- Serve crispy wonton strips with duck sauce and/or Chinese mustard for dipping. Or, enjoy them with your favorite soups and salads.

Steps:
- Cut wonton wrappers into strips about 1/2-inch by 3 inches long. NOTE: egg roll wrappers can be used, but cut them in half first before cutting the strips.
- NOTE: canola oil, vegetable oil, or corn oil can be used if desired. Peanut oil is recommended due to the high flash point (since you will probably dribble some oil as you scoop out the fried wontons).
- Heat 1 inch of oil in a deep pan on medium-high to 360 degrees. If you don't have a thermometer, try dropping a single strip in to see if it crisps up quickly. If it does, then it's hot enough.
- NOTE: the strips cook very quickly. If the oil is hot enough, they will be done in as soon as 15 seconds, so don't walk away!
- Fry the strips in batches, spreading them out so they don't stick. Flip them over with a slotted spoon if both sides aren't browning evenly. Remove when they turn golden brown.
- Drain on paper towel-lined plate.
- Sprinkle with salt if desired. This is absolutely NOT a traditional way to prepare the wonton strips, but it's tasty.

Tips:
- Use a sharp knife to cut the wonton wrappers into thin strips. This will help them to fry evenly and become crispy.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when frying the wonton strips. This will cause them to steam instead of fry and they will not be as crispy.
- Fry the wonton strips in batches if necessary. This will help to ensure that they are all cooked evenly.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the wonton strips from the oil. This will help to drain any excess oil.
- Season the wonton strips with salt and pepper, or your favorite seasonings, immediately after frying. This will help the seasonings to stick to the strips.
- Serve the wonton strips immediately, while they are still hot and crispy. They can be served as an appetizer, snack, or side dish.
