These little parcels are packed with tofu and vegetables, then drenched in an ultra-savory sauce made from a mixture of chile oil, black vinegar, and soy sauce. (One of my favorite brands is Master Brand, or you can make your own.) Wontons are a type of dumpling, typically using a square wrapper.

Chinese crispy fried wonton chips are super easy to make and made with dumplings or wonton wrappers (wonton skins). They are essentially wonton wrappers that have been deep-fried in oil until they are crispy, and golden brown and served with dipping sauce, or used as a salad or soup topper.

Nobody likes a soggy Fried Wonton, and there's a great trick to getting the wrapper ultra crisp. Instead of sealing the wrapper shut like an envelope with water, you leave the majority of the folded wrapper unsealed, using just a dab of water to pinch the ends together.

Nasoya Vegan Wonton Wraps are versatile wraps that can be used to create delicious appetizers and desserts.

What is the difference between crab wonton and crab rangoon? Crab rangoon is a type of fried wonton, so they are really very similar. The difference is all in the filling. Traditional wontons are not ever filled with cream cheese (which is one of the main components in crab rangoon recipes).

Wontons provide about 36 calories and about 2.7 grams of carbohydrate per fried dumpling. Each fried wonton has just a small amount of fiber (0.3g) and a small amount of sugar (0.5g). The rest of the carbohydrates in wontons comes from starch.

In a pinch, egg roll wrappers can be used for wontons. Keep in mind they are larger and thicker than wonton wrappers, so your final result may be different.

First, you want to spray the wontons with some kind of cooking spray. This ensures that the wonton can turn golden brown but that it won't get soggy from too much oil. Wonton wrappers are normally very thin so adding the weight of too much oil can cause them to lose some crispiness.

What is the best oil for frying wontons? ›

I like to use either peanut oil or vegetable oil for deep frying. Both are neutral flavored and have a high smoke point. They can handle the amount of heat needed to make sure that your wonton strips fry up crispy without absorbing too much oil.

The Folding Technique

For this simple fold, all you have to do is fold the filled wrapper in half to form a triangle, then bring the bottom corners together to finish the fold. A little water acts as the “glue” to keep the wontons sealed tight so they don't fall apart as they cook.

Because while wontons are primarily meant to be used in soups, you can also pan-fry them—if you would rather have some crispy potsticker-y vibes! The method is the same as pan-frying a dumpling, so if you already have experience with that, just take this post as a PSA that it's okay to pan-fry a wonton.

They're generally done once all of the wontons start floating and the filling is cooked through.

Air fry: Spray the air fryer basket with oil. Place the wonton chips in the basket with some space between them. Air fryer at 380F for 6 minutes for homemade gluten free wonton wrappers. Or 350°F for 4 to 5 minutes (check and flip after 2 minutes) for store-bought wrappers.

Wontons are made by spreading a square wrapper (a dough skin made of flour, egg, water, and salt) flat in the palm of one's hand, placing a small amount of filling in the center and sealing the wonton into the desired shape by compressing the wrapper's edges together with the fingers.

This version is for vegetarians or vegetable lovers; the wonton wrappers are stuffed with a mixture of mashed tofu, green onion, bok choy, water chestnuts, and carrots, seasoned with soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil, and then deep-fried until nice and crispy.
