Fried wontons are a popular appetizer or snack originating from Chinese cuisine. They feature thin, square wrappers made from flour, water, and eggs, which are filled with a savory mixture commonly consisting of ground pork, shrimp, or vegetables, seasoned with garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Once folded into their signature triangular or pouch shape, they are deep-fried until golden and crispy. While fried wontons are a flavorful and satisfying treat, they are relatively high in calories and fat due to the deep-frying process. On the positive side, the fillings often provide protein, and when made with vegetables, they can offer some beneficial nutrients. For a healthier alternative, steaming or baking wontons is an option. Fried wontons are typically served with dipping sauces like sweet-and-sour sauce or spicy mustard, adding to their irresistible appeal. Moderation is key to enjoying this indulgent dish as part of a balanced diet.
