Ingredients

• 12 sheets High-protein wonton wrappers
• 2 large Egg whites
• 0.25 cup Soy protein isolate powder
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 cup Vegetable oil
• 0 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and pour in the vegetable oil. Use a thermometer to heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

While the oil is heating, prepare the wonton strips. Take each wonton wrapper and cut them into strips approximately 1 inch wide. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, whip the egg whites until frothy. This can be done using a fork or small whisk.

Step 4

In a separate shallow dish, combine the soy protein isolate powder, sesame seeds, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well.

Step 5

Lightly spray the wonton strips with cooking spray. This will help the egg whites adhere properly.

Step 6

Dunk each wonton strip first into the egg whites, ensuring both sides are coated, and then dredge them in the protein and sesame seed mixture until evenly covered.

Step 7

Once the oil is heated to 350°F (175°C), carefully add the prepared wonton strips in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 8

Fry the wonton strips for about 2-3 minutes per side or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Repeat the process with the remaining wonton strips.

Step 10

Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your high-protein fried wonton strips as a crunchy snack or as a topping for your favorite dishes!
