Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 green onion finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • 1 small bowl of water for sealing
  • 4 cups vegetable oil for frying

Equipment

  • Deep skillet or pot
  • Small bowl of water
  • Slotted spoon

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, beat the cream cheese with the powdered sugar, green onion, garlic powder, and Worcestershire until smooth.
  2. Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface and add about 1 teaspoon of filling to the center.
  3. Dip a finger in water and moisten all four edges, then fold into a triangle or pinch the four corners up to seal tightly, pressing out air.
  4. Heat the oil to 350F. Fry the rangoon in batches for 2-3 minutes, turning once, until golden and crisp.
  5. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate and serve warm with sweet and sour or sweet chili sauce.

Notes

Do not overfill - about 1 teaspoon per wrapper keeps them from bursting. Seal the edges well with water so no filling leaks while frying.
