Ingredients
- 1 package wonton wrappers
- Vegetable oil or peanut oil, for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the frying station: Fill a large, heavy-bottomed pot halfway to two-thirds full with your preferred frying oil. Line a baking sheet with layers of paper towels to drain the chips after frying.
- Heat the oil: Heat the oil to 360°F using an oil or candy thermometer to monitor. Adjust the flame to maintain a consistent temperature between 350-360°F throughout frying.
- Cut the wonton wrappers: Slice each wonton wrapper into triangles. Keep the unused cut wrappers covered with a clean kitchen towel to prevent drying out between batches.
- Fry the wonton chips: Carefully add 6-7 triangles at a time to the hot oil (or more if the pot size allows). Fry them for 60-90 seconds until they puff up and turn a deep golden brown. Use a spider or slotted spoon to separate the chips while frying. Avoid overcrowding the pot to prevent the oil temperature from dropping, which would make the chips greasy.
- Drain and cool: Remove the golden brown chips from the oil using a spider or slotted spoon and place them onto the prepared paper towel-lined baking sheet. Let them cool completely before serving or storing.
Notes
- Maintain consistent oil temperature for crisp, non-greasy chips.
- Do not overcrowd the pot during frying to avoid lowering the oil temperature.
- Store cooled chips in an airtight container to keep them crispy.
- Adjust frying time slightly based on your stove and pot size.
- Use vegetable or peanut oil for neutral flavor and high smoke point.
