Notes:

  • Make-ahead Option: 
    • If you are not planning to fry the wontons immediately, freeze the wontons and store them in an air-tight container.
    • When ready to fry, fry the frozen wontons a few at a time to keep the temperature of the frying oil consistent.

I've never met a wonton I didn't like and this was no exception! Chose the air fryer method and they were delish....and slightly healthier
