Preparing the Strips

I love making Crispy Fried Wonton Strips! They’re so easy to whip up and perfect for snacking or adding a crunchy twist to salads and soups. To start, I grab a package of wonton wrappers and slice them into strips about 3/4-inch wide by 3 inches long. If you’re using egg roll wrappers instead, make sure to halve them first before cutting.

Frying Process

Heating up the oil is the next step—I pour about 1 inch of vegetable oil into a large pan and heat it to around 360°F. Frying these wonton strips is where the magic happens! I carefully drop them into the hot oil in batches to ensure they cook evenly and don’t stick together. It only takes about 1-2 minutes per batch for them to turn a beautiful golden brown.

Finishing Touches

Once they’re crispy and golden, I use a slotted spoon to scoop them out and let them drain on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil. These Crispy Fried Wonton Strips are not only delicious but also versatile. You can enjoy them on their own or pair them with your favorite dipping sauce—I recommend sweet chili sauce or soy sauce for an extra burst of flavor.

Storage Tips

Plus, they store well in an airtight container, staying crispy for several days. Whether it’s for game day snacks, a quick appetizer, or a crunchy topping, these wonton strips are always a hit!

Chef’s Notes- Crispy Fried Wonton Strips

Precision in Cutting: Ensure the wonton strips are uniformly cut for even frying, which helps in achieving consistent crispiness.
Oil Temperature: Maintain the oil temperature around 360°F to prevent the strips from absorbing too much oil and to achieve a crispy texture.
Batch Frying: Fry the strips in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can lead to uneven cooking and soggy strips.
Draining and Cooling: After frying, drain the strips on paper towels to remove excess oil and allow them to cool slightly before serving to crisp up further.
Seasoning: Sprinkle with salt or a seasoning blend immediately after frying to enhance the flavor while they’re still hot..
