Summary:
These extra crispy fried wontons are a fun and delicious way to use up your leftovers by stuffing them into wonton wrappers and frying until crispy.
INGREDIENTS
- 25 wonton wrappers
- 4 ounces cooked beef or chicken shredded
canola oil for frying
For the sweet chili dip:
- 4 tablespoons
sriracha - 2 tablespoons
white sugar - 1 tablespoon
rice vinegar - 1 tablespoon
sesame oil
INSTRUCTIONS
- Prepare a small bowl of water. Lay out a wonton wrapper. Add about 1 teaspoon of beef onto the wrapper. Dab a finger in the water and run your finger along the four sides of the wrapper until moist. Fold the wrapper in half so that it forms a rectangle, pressing down to seal the sides. Add water to the two folded corners and pull them together, sealing by pressing the corners together. Repeat for all other wrappers.
- Heat a small pot 1 inch deep with oil. When the temperature reaches 350 F, add the wontons in batches and cook until golden, about 30 seconds, flipping them once. Drain on a paper towel.
- Combine all dip ingredients in a bowl and mix together. Serve the dip with the fried wontons.

Yum. I have had the hardest time with these wanton wrappers drying out in the past, but maybe I’ll give it another try 🙂
