Ha ha, anyway, they're really easy to make.
What you'll need:
For the wontons
- Wonton wrappers (unless you're a pro at making your own, in which case you should leave your recipe in the comments :) )
- cream cheese
- avocado oil (or olive oil, or canola oil...)
For the sweet and sour sauce (literally takes 5 minutes to make)
- 1/3 cup rice vinegar (can substitute white wine vinegar)
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 4 teaspoons water
- 2 teaspoons corn starch
You don't need to roll it, it's just easiest to keep the same portion size.
You'll need to wet the edges of your wanton wrapper so that it can seal. We just folded them into triangles.
Preheat your oil in your pan. We used just over medium heat. They brown up pretty quickly, so unless you have another person helping you, be sure to make all your wontons before you cook them.
I'm warning you right now, if those edges aren't sealed tight and the cream cheese spills out a little, the oil will spit at you! So be prepared.
Guess what? You're done! That's it!
For the sauce (makes about 1 cup):
Combine sugar, vinegar, and ketchup in a small sauce pan.
Bring to a boil.
Mix together corn starch and water (be sure it is thoroughly mixed before you put it on the heat)
Pour into sauce to thicken.
Done!
Make sure you watch those teaspoons and tablespoons. The first time I made the sauce I did a tablespoon of soy sauce instead of a teaspoon... don't even worry about it! Ha ha it wasn't bad, but it was definitely better when I made it the right way.
And if you want a more desserty feel to your wontons, instead of sweet and sour sauce, you can just throw those babies in cinnamon and sugar!
Or skip the cream cheese and make some homemade crustos :)
Happy eating!
