Ingredients
Wontons
- 30 pieces wonton wrappers
- 1 lb Monterey Jack cheese, cut into strips ½ to 1 ½-inch strips
- green chilies cut into strips
- hot green chiles cut into strips
- 2-3 cups oil for frying
Dipping Sauce
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 piece jalapeño, minced
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
Wonton Preparation
- Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean, dry surface. Place one strip of Monterey Jack cheese and one strip of chili onto each wrapper.
- Lightly moisten the edges of each wonton wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper over the filling and press the edges firmly together to seal completely.
- Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry each wonton for 1-2 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced jalapeño, honey, and sesame oil.
- Serve the hot, crispy wontons with the jalapeño-soy dipping sauce.
Notes
Ensure the wonton edges are fully sealed to prevent cheese from leaking during frying. Adjust the chili type and amount according to your preferred spice level.
