Ingredients
- 12 sheets Wonton wrappers
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the wonton wrappers. Stack them and cut them into 1/2-inch wide strips using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors.
Step 2
Pour the vegetable oil into a deep frying pan or skillet, ensuring it reaches a depth of at least 1 inch. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). If you don’t have a thermometer, test the oil by dipping one strip into it; if it sizzles and floats, the oil is ready.
Step 3
Carefully add a small batch of wonton strips to the hot oil. Fry them in batches to prevent overcrowding, which can cause uneven cooking.
Step 4
Fry each batch of strips for about 1-2 minutes, turning them occasionally with a slotted spoon or tongs, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 5
Once fried, remove the wonton strips with a slotted spoon and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Step 6
Sprinkle the fried wonton strips immediately with salt and ground black pepper while they are still hot, ensuring even seasoning.
Step 7
Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the fried wonton strips as a crispy appetizer, soup garnish, or salad topping.
