Deliciously crispy fried cream cheese wontons with their creamy, tasty filling are perfect for dipping in sweet and sour sauce! Cream Cheese Wontons Recipe My family could eat Asian food all day, every day! So I’ve gotten pretty good at making all of our Chinese restaurant takeout favorites here at home. These crunchy, creamy wontons are by far one of the easiest to make appetizers, so it’s super easy to make a great ‘full restaurant menu feel’ at home! I combine my quick and easy wontons with any number of our favorite entrees, especially when I’m making my Panda Express dinners! How To Make Cream Cheese Wontons Start out with preheating your oil while you assemble the wontons. Heat your deep fryer or a large, deep skillet or frying pan, or Dutch oven until the oil reaches 350ºF ( 175ºC ). If you are using a pan, make sure that you have a good quality thermometer that can be used to check the oil temperature. In a medium-size mixing bowl combine the room temperature softened cream cheese with the lemon juice and garlic powder for this savory cream cheese filling. Other great filling additions include fresh cut chives, salt, and pepper, grated onions or shallots, or a touch of sugar. Place the wonton wrappers out in a single layer on a cutting board or clean working surface. Fill each wonton with 1 - 1 ½ teaspoons of the combined cream cheese wonton filling. Mix the beaten egg white and water to make your egg wash. Spread a border along two connected edges of the wonton wrapper, that forms an ‘L’ shape. This will be the bottom of the wonton.*If you are folding in your wontons into a shape other than the triangles shown here, you may need to get all of the edges coated with egg wash for sealing. Fold the other edge over to make a triangle and seal the wonton edges securely, so that the filling doesn’t seep out while frying. Make sure to fit the wonton wrapper tightly around the filling, and push air bubbles out while sealing each cream cheese wonton. Fry the Wontons Carefully place the filled and sealed wontons into your preheated oil, and cook the wontons in batches of 4 - 5 wontons at a time ( depending on how much room you have in your pan, skillet, or fryer ). Cook for approximately 3 - 5 minutes, then remove your golden browned wontons and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate. Continue until all of the wontons have been fried, then serve immediately. Serve with my fantastic sweet and sour sauce or some Sweet Thai Chili, the amazing sauce I use on my Panda Express SweetFire Chicken Breast! To Bake Your Cream Cheese Wontons Place filled and sealed wontons onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, that has a light coating of oil on the parchment paper as well. Bake at 400ºF ( 205ºC ) for 10 - 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
