Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Course Appetizer, Side Dish
Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
  • 2 tablespoons Sliced green onions
  • 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 package Wonton wrappers
  • Oil for frying
  • Sauces for dipping (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Stir together the cream cheese, green onions, soy sauce, and garlic powder until well blended.
  • Spoon roughly 1-tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of one wonton wrapper. Lightly wet the edges of the wrapper with water, fold in half, and seal. (Use a little extra water if needed to get a good seal.)
  • Fry 4 to 5 wonton at a time in hot oil. (I use a deep skillet, but you can use your favorite frying method.) Fry for about 5 minutes, flipping over halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  • Drain on paper towels and serve with your favorite dipping sauce(s), such as sweet chili pepper sauce, soy sauce, sweet and sour sauce, etc.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Serve cream cheese wontons with sweet chili sauce, sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, or any other sauce you'd like.
  • Add chopped imitation or real crab to the cream cheese for an easy Crab Rangoon variation.
