Preparation Steps

• Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or a heavy-bottomed, high-sided skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sriracha hot sauce, and finely chopped green onions until well blended.
• Place about 1.5 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper.
• Brush two edges of the wrapper with the beaten egg, then fold to bring two opposite corners together to form a triangle, sealing the filling inside.
• Bring the other two corners of the triangle together to form a small envelope shape.
• Repeat the filling and folding process with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.
• Heat oil to 375°F (190°C) for frying. Fry wontons in batches, about 6 at a time, to avoid overcrowding the pan.
• Use a spider strainer to remove the wontons once golden and crispy. Drain on a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
• Serve wontons immediately while still hot and enjoy.
