Ingredients:
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons white onion, grated
1 large egg
2 teaspoons water
48 wonton wrappers
Vegetable oil for frying
Directions:
Combine cream cheese, sugar, and grated white onion. Stir the cream cheese mixture until it is well blended. Prepare an egg wash by combining one egg and water in a small bowl. To fill wontons with cream cheese mixture, brush egg wash on two sides of the wonton wrapper. Drop about a teaspoon of cream cheese onto the wrapper. Wet the sides of the wrapper with the egg wash.
Lift up the middle of the 2 opposite sides so that they meet. Squeeze lightly together Bring the middle of the 2 other sides up to close the wonton. Gently squeeze together. The wonton will remain slightly open. Add enough oil to cover the bottom 4 inches of the pot. Heat the oil to 350 °. Drop the wontons in a couple at a time until they are golden brown.
