Total Time: 25 minutes
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Yield: 20 wontons
Ingredients:
- Cream Cheese: 1 cup (softened)
- Wonton Wrappers: 20 sheets
- Scallions: 5 (finely chopped)
- Curry Powder: 1 teaspoon
- Egg: 1 (beaten, for sealing)
- Vegetable Oil: For frying
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Oil: Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large skillet to 350°F (175°C), making sure there’s enough oil for the wontons to float while frying.
-
Prepare the Cream Cheese: Divide the softened cream cheese into 20 equal portions, rolling each into a small cube.
-
Assemble the Wontons: Place a cube of cream cheese in the center of each wonton wrapper. Sprinkle a small amount (about ¼ teaspoon) of chopped scallions over the cream cheese. Then, add a dash or two of curry powder on top.
-
Seal the Wontons: Brush two adjacent edges of each wonton wrapper with the beaten egg. Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges together firmly to seal the filling inside. Ensure that the edges are well-sealed to prevent any filling from escaping during frying.
-
Fry the Wontons: Carefully lower the prepared wontons into the hot oil, a few at a time, to avoid overcrowding. Fry them until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Use a slotted spoon to remove the wontons from the oil.
-
Drain Excess Oil: Place the fried wontons on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
-
Serve: Serve the hot wontons immediately, accompanied by a bowl of sweet and sour sauce or your favorite dipping sauce on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
Enjoy these Curried Cheese-Stuffed Wontons fresh out of the fryer for a delightful crunchy snack or appetizer that’s sure to impress! 🧀✨
