Ingredients

  • ½ package wonton wrappers you can find these in any grocery store near the produce
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 cup fresh crabmeat optional
  • 1 egg white whipped
  • oil for frying

Instructions

  • Put about 1 heaping teaspoon of cream cheese in the middle of each wonton wrapper (if you are using crabmeat, mix the crab and cream cheese together before adding to the wonton wrapper).
  • Brush egg white (or you can just use water) around the edge of the wrapper and fold over to seal (if you are confused about how to fold it, look on the back of the wonton wrapper package. It will show you step by step how to do it).
  • Fry in oil until golden brown. That's it! Serve with sweet and sour sauce combined with chili paste (or if you don't like it spicy, just serve with sweet and sour sauce).

Notes

Nutrition does not include dipping sauces or toppings.

More Ways to Cook Cream Cheese Wontons

  • Air fry - Place the filled wontons in the tray of the basket of the air fryer. Fry them at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes or until crispy on the outside.
  • Bake - Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper. If you don't have parchment paper, you can use cooking spray to keep them from sticking to the pan. Place the wontons on top of the parchment paper and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 to 18 minutes or until they are crisp on the outside.
