Cream Cheese Wontons

Ingrédients

4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature

1 scallion, minced

1 teaspoon lemon pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Pinch of sea salt

12 wonton wrappers (see note)

Vegetable or canola oil for frying

Plum sauce and/or sweet and sour sauce

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, scallion, lemon pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and sea salt. Using a small ice cream scoop, place a teaspoon-sized ball of cream cheese mixture in the center of each wrapper. Dip your finger in water and moisten the corners of the wrapper, then fold up and seal.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the wontons and fry until golden brown on each side, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool slightly. Serve with plum sauce or sweet and sour sauce, or both!

Notes

If you can't find wonton wrappers, feel free to cut an egg roll wrapper into 4 small squares.
