Cream Cheese Wantons

16 oz room temperature Cream Cheese
2 Tbsp. Garlic Powder
1 Tbsp. Onion Powder
3 Tbsp. flour
24 Wanton Wrappers
Vegetable Oil for frying

1. Mix Cream Cheese, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder and Flour together and beat until smooth.

2. Place about 1 teaspoon of Cream Cheese in each Wanton Wrapper.

Here you have some options:
3. Fold Wanton Wrappers.
  • Corner to corner to create a triangle (easiest)
  • Pull all corners to the middle and pinch edges closed (shown, and my personal preference.)
How to fold Wantons:
  • Using your finger and a little bit of water, wet the outer edges of wrapper. 
  • Put edges together to create desired shape.
  • Pinch firmly along edges so none of the Cream Cheese leaks out.
4. Place finished Wantons between two wet paper towels to prevent drying and splitting.

5. Heat oil.

6. When oil is hot, place  about 4 wantons in pan pointed side down. 

7. Fry for about 90 seconds, flip and fry for about 30 more seconds.
 
8. Remove from oil and place on paper towel.

Serve with Sweet and Sour Sauce, if desired.
