Jalapeno Cream Cheese Wontons

Serves 6
Total Time 20 minutes
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese, softened ​
2 teaspoons Kikkoman® Soy Sauce​
2 teaspoons mayonnaise​
1 teaspoon garlic powder​
1 teaspoon pepper​
3 fresh jalapenos, diced​
1 package wonton wrappers​
1 quart of canola oil ​

For Serving​
Kikkoman® Sweet & Sour Sauce

Directions

  1. Place softened cream cheese, soy sauce, mayo, garlic powder, pepper, and jalapenos into a bowl.​
  2. Mix until all ingredients are fully combined.​
  3. Place 1 tablespoon of filling into each wonton wrapper; use a drop of water to seal the edges of the wonton together. ​
  4. Once all wontons are filled, place a damp paper towel over the wontons to keep them from drying out.​
  5. Fill Dutch oven with canola oil and heat to around 375°F or use the chopstick test— if a chopstick bubbles when placed in oil, it is ready to fry. ​
  6. Once the oil is hot, place wontons directly into the oil, submerging fully. Fry in batches, being sure not to overcrowd the pot. ​
  7. Once wontons are golden and crispy on both sides (flip halfway if needed), around 5 minutes, remove from oil and place on a wire rack to let the excess oil drip off. ​
  8. Repeat the process until all wontons are fried. ​
  9. Serve on a platter with sweet & sour sauce for dipping! ​
