Ingredients

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 Tbsp green onion, minced
  • 1 tsp garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger, minced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp Everything Chili Crisp seasoning
  • Wonton wrappers
  • 2 Tbsp corn starch
  • 1 cup water
  • Sunflower oil

Method

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, green onion, garlic, ginger, salt, and Everything Chili Crisp seasoning. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.
  2. Place about 1–2 teaspoons of the filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Lightly moisten the edges with water, fold, and press firmly to seal.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the corn starch and water until smooth to create the dumpling lace slurry.
  4. Heat 1–2 Tbsp sunflower oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Arrange the wontons in the pan in a single layer and cook for about 1–2 minutes, until the bottoms begin to turn lightly golden.
  5. Pour enough of the corn starch slurry into the pan to form a thin layer around the wontons (about 1/2 cup, depending on pan size). Season the slurry in the pan with a little more Everything Chili Crisp seasoning. Cover and cook until the water evaporates and the lace forms a crisp golden web connecting the wontons, about 4–5 minutes.
  6. Remove from the pan carefully so the crispy lace stays intact and serve immediately.
