➡ Ingredients

↪ Wonton wrappers

↪ 8 oz cream cheese, softened

↪ 2 green onions, finely chopped

↪ 1 tablespoon sesame oil

↪ 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

↪ Salt and pepper to taste

↪ Oil, for frying

➡ Instructions

↪ Prepare the Filling:

1. In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, finely chopped green onions, sesame oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.

↪ Fill the Wonton Wrappers:

2. Place a small spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper (about 1 teaspoon per wonton). Avoid overfilling to prevent them from bursting during cooking.

↪ Shape the Wontons:

3. Moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with water using your finger or a brush. Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal tightly.

↪ Cook the Wontons:

4. In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

5. Carefully add the wontons to the hot oil in batches, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

↪ Serve:

6. Remove the fried wontons from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

7. Serve the handmade cheese wontons hot, optionally with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as sweet chili sauce or honey mustard for a cheesy, sweet kick.
