Ingredients
- 1 package wonton wrappers
- Vegetable oil or peanut oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the frying station: Fill a large, heavy-bottomed pot ½ to ⅔ full with vegetable or peanut oil. Cover a baking sheet with several layers of paper towel to drain the chips after frying.
- Heat the oil: Using an oil or candy thermometer, heat the oil to 360°F (182°C). Adjust the flame as needed to keep the temperature steady between 350-360°F (177-182°C) during frying.
- Cut the wonton wrappers: Slice the wonton wrappers into triangular shapes. Keep the uncooked wrappers covered with a clean kitchen towel between batches to prevent drying out.
- Fry the wonton chips: Carefully add 6-7 wonton triangles per batch into the hot oil. Fry for 60 to 90 seconds until they puff up and achieve a deep golden brown color. Use a spider or slotted spoon to gently separate the chips while frying and avoid overcrowding, which can cause oily chips due to temperature drops.
- Drain and cool: Remove the golden brown chips using a spider or slotted spoon and place them on the prepared baking sheet lined with paper towels. Allow them to cool completely before serving or storing.
Notes
- Use a thermometer to maintain consistent oil temperature for crispy, non-greasy chips.
- Do not overcrowd the pot; frying in small batches ensures even cooking and crispiness.
- Store cooled chips in an airtight container to keep them crunchy.
- Peanut oil adds a subtle flavor and has a high smoke point, but vegetable oil works well too.
- These chips are great on their own or served with dips like sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or guacamole.
