Ingredients
- 1 cup canned clams, drained and chopped
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons green onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 20 wonton wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing edges)
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (for dipping sauce)
- 1.5 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for dipping sauce)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped clams, cream cheese, green onion, soy sauce, and garlic powder. Mix well until fully combined.
Step 2
Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean, flat surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the clam filling in the center of each wrapper.
Step 3
Brush the edges of each wonton wrapper with the beaten egg to help seal it.
Step 4
Fold the wonton wrapper diagonally into a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Make sure no air is trapped inside and the edges are tightly sealed to avoid leaking during frying.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 6
Fry the wonton triangles in small batches, about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 7
To prepare the dipping sauce, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and chili flakes (if using) in a small bowl.
Step 8
Serve the crispy clam wonton triangles warm with the dipping sauce on the side.
