Ingredients
2 cups cream cheese, softened
4 habanero peppers, finely minced (adjust for desired spice level)
6 scallions, finely chopped
6 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons lime juice
Pinch of salt
48 wonton wrappers
1 egg, beaten (for sealing edges)
Vegetable, canola, or peanut oil
Favorite dipping sauce
Preparation
01To make the filling, in a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, habanero, scallions, garlic, soy sauce, lime juice, and salt until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust for heat or salt if needed. Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to firm up.
02To assemble the rangoons, lay a wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center.
03Lightly brush the edges of the wrapper with the beaten egg. Fold the wrapper into a triangle or bring all four corners to the center, pinching tightly to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
04Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or saucepan to 350 F.
05Fry the rangoons in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy (about 2-3 minutes per batch).
06Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Dip into your favorite sauce and enjoy!
