Crispy Jalapeño Popper Wontons

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Jalapeño Popper Wontons.

1. Step 1

   Start by taking a medium bowl and mixing together softened cream cheese and diced jalapeño peppers until they’re perfectly blended.

2. Step 2

   This creamy, spicy filling is the heart of your wontons! Next, find a clean, dry surface and lay out a few wonton wrappers at a time.

3. Step 3

   Keep a small bowl of water close by; you’ll need it for sealing.

4. Step 4

   Now, scoop about a teaspoon of that delicious cream cheese mixture and place it right in the center of each wonton wrapper.

5. Step 5

   To help seal them, dip your fingertip in the water and gently trace along the edges of the wrappers.

6. Step 6

   This little trick makes all the difference in keeping your filling secure! Fold the wrappers into triangles or any shape you fancy, making sure they’re sealed tightly.

7. Step 7

   If you want to get ahead of the game, feel free to prepare these little delights in advance and store them in the fridge or freezer.

8. Step 8

   When you’re ready to fry, heat oil in a deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).

9. Step 9

   Once the oil is sizzling hot, carefully drop in the wontons in batches, frying them until they turn a beautiful golden brown—this usually takes about 2 minutes per batch.

10. Step 10

    After frying, let them drain on paper towels to soak up any excess oil.

11. Step 11

    Finally, serve your crispy wontons warm, paired with a side of sweet chili sauce for dipping.

    Enjoy the delightful crunch and the burst of flavor in every bite!.
