Ingredients
  • 10 wrappers Wonton Wrappers
  • 1 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder

Preparation

Stack the wonton wrappers and use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide.

Frying

Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the wonton strips in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 1-2 minutes per batch, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the strips and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Seasoning

While the wonton strips are still warm, sprinkle them with salt and garlic powder. Toss to coat evenly.

Cooling and Storage

Allow the wonton strips to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. They will stay crispy for up to a week.

FAQ

  • Can I bake the wonton strips instead of frying?

    Yes, you can bake them! Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Toss the wonton strips with a tablespoon of oil and spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown, flipping halfway through.
  • Can I use different seasonings?

    Absolutely! Experiment with other seasonings like sesame oil, chili flakes, onion powder, or even a sprinkle of sugar for a sweet and savory flavor.
