Cream Cheese Filled Wontons Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large, heavy saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, imitation crabmeat, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, Worcestershire sauce and green onions.
• Place approximately 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper.
• Place egg whites in a small bowl. Using the fingers, spread egg white over two edges of the wonton wrappers. Fold into triangles and press to seal edges.
• In small batches, deep fry the wontons until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Lay wonton wrappers on prepared baking sheet. Place 1 teaspoon cream cheese in the center of each wonton wrapper.
• Lightly brush edges of wonton wrappers with water and fold each wrapper in half to form a triangle. Press edges to seal. Fold the tips of each triangle up together so that they meet in above the center of the wonton and press tips together to seal. Spray assembled wontons with cooking spray.
• Bake in the preheated oven until wontons are crispy and golden and the cream cheese is melted, 5 to 7 minutes.

Steps:

• For the dipping sauce: Mix together the honey, soy sauce, Sriracha, vinegar and sesame oil in a small bowl and set aside.
• For the wontons: In the bowl of a mixer (or you can do it by hand), mix together the cream cheese, Sriracha and green onions until totally combined (scrape the mixer bowl if necessary). In a separate bowl, mix together the egg and 1/2 cup water.
• One at a time, assemble the wontons: Place approximately 1/2 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture on one corner of a wonton wrapper. Use your finger to "paint" the egg wash all around the edges of the wrapper. Roll the wrapper on a diagonal, starting with the cream cheese corner and stopping when half the wrapper is rolled and the cream cheese mixture is inside. Bring up the 2 ends and use the egg wash to stick them together. Allow the remaining pointed end to naturally tuck backward. (The wontons should resemble tortellini.) As you work, place the assembled wontons under plastic wrap or a light towel to keep them from drying out.
• Heat 2 to 3 inches of vegetable oil in a large saucepan or medium skillet until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers just under 350 degrees F. (You don't want the oil too hot or it will burn the wontons! Experiment with a spare sheet of wonton wrappers to check.)
• In batches of 4 or 5 at a time, fry the wontons for 45 seconds to 1 minute, flipping carefully midway through to make sure they brown evenly. Remove them when you think they still could stand to slightly brown a teeny bit more (because they will slightly brown in the seconds after you remove them from the pan!). Drain the wontons on a paper towel. Repeat with the remaining batches.
• It's best to wait 5 to 10 minutes before serving the wontons, as the cream cheese filling can be quite hot. Serve with the dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Combine cream cheese and powdered sugar.
• Place 1 tsp of cheese mixture in wonton wrapper and follow package instructions on how to form wonton.
• Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray.
• Place wontons on cookie sheet and spray tops with more cooking spray.
• Bake for 10 minutes at 400°F.
• Combine all ingredients for sauce mixing well.
• Boil for 5 minutes.
• Let cool slightly before serving.
• Note: if you do not want chunks in the sauce you can process it in a blender before cooking.

Steps:

• Fill a large pot over medium-high heat with vegetable oil until the oil is 2 inches deep. Oil should be around 350 degrees F.
• In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, garlic powder, sugar and green onion.
• Place wonton wrappers on a clean, flat surface.
• Drop a teaspoon of cream cheese mixture in the middle of each wonton wrapper.
• Beat egg and brush the edges of the wonton wrappers with egg.
• Pinch the corners of each wonton wrapper together in the center.
• Place 6-8 wontons at a time in the hot oil, turning them as needed, until evenly browned (about 3-5 minutes).
• Carefully remove wontons from hot oil and place on a plate covered with a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
• Serve with sweet and sour sauce.
