Sweet Cream Cheese Pumpkin Dip With Fried Wontons Recipes

AIR FRYER PORK WONTONS

Steps:

• Make the wontons: Preheat an air fryer to 325˚ F. Mix the pork, scallion, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, garlic, ginger and sugar in a medium bowl until well combined.
• Spread out the wonton wrappers on a work surface. Scoop 1 teaspoonful of the pork mixture into the center of each wrapper. Moisten the edges; fold in half to make a triangle. Fold in the two lower points to look like an open envelope; seal with a dab of water. Brush both sides with sesame oil.
• Add the wontons to the air fryer basket. Cook, flipping halfway through, until golden, 10 minutes.
• Make the dipping sauce: Whisk the soy sauce, black vinegar, sesame oil, sesame seeds and scallion in a small bowl. Serve with the wontons.

CREAM CHEESE WONTONS

Steps:

• For the dipping sauce: Mix together the honey, soy sauce, Sriracha, vinegar and sesame oil in a small bowl and set aside.
• For the wontons: In the bowl of a mixer (or you can do it by hand), mix together the cream cheese, Sriracha and green onions until totally combined (scrape the mixer bowl if necessary). In a separate bowl, mix together the egg and 1/2 cup water.
• One at a time, assemble the wontons: Place approximately 1/2 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture on one corner of a wonton wrapper. Use your finger to "paint" the egg wash all around the edges of the wrapper. Roll the wrapper on a diagonal, starting with the cream cheese corner and stopping when half the wrapper is rolled and the cream cheese mixture is inside. Bring up the 2 ends and use the egg wash to stick them together. Allow the remaining pointed end to naturally tuck backward. (The wontons should resemble tortellini.) As you work, place the assembled wontons under plastic wrap or a light towel to keep them from drying out.
• Heat 2 to 3 inches of vegetable oil in a large saucepan or medium skillet until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers just under 350 degrees F. (You don't want the oil too hot or it will burn the wontons! Experiment with a spare sheet of wonton wrappers to check.)
• In batches of 4 or 5 at a time, fry the wontons for 45 seconds to 1 minute, flipping carefully midway through to make sure they brown evenly. Remove them when you think they still could stand to slightly brown a teeny bit more (because they will slightly brown in the seconds after you remove them from the pan!). Drain the wontons on a paper towel. Repeat with the remaining batches.
• It's best to wait 5 to 10 minutes before serving the wontons, as the cream cheese filling can be quite hot. Serve with the dipping sauce.

CHICKEN PUMPKIN WONTONS

Steps:

• In a bowl combine the pumpkin puree, cinnamon, garlic, brown sugar, soy sauce, red pepper, maple syrup and salt. Add the chicken and mix well.
• Spoon equal amounts of the chicken mixture onto the wonton wrappers and seal the edges by brushing the egg white on them and pressing down. Heat the oil in a deep saucepan and drop in the wontons, in batches. Fry for a few seconds until wonton is lightly browned and crispy.

• Carefully remove wontons from hot oil and place on a plate covered with a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
• Serve with sweet and sour sauce.

PRETTY PUMPKIN WONTONS

AIR-FRIED SWEET WONTONS

Steps:

• Mix peanut butter, brown sugar, honey, and sesame seeds in a small bowl.
• Lay out a wonton square. Dip your index finger into water and moisten all 4 edges. Place 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture in the center, and fold it diagonally to make a triangle, firmly pressing the edges down. Don't overfill, as the peanut butter mixture may ooze out.
• Once you've made a triangle shape, take the bottom corners and fold around your index finger so they meet. Moisten the 2 wonton corners and press together to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
• Preheat an air fryer to 370 degrees F (188 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions for 5 minutes.
• Working in batches, add some wontons to the fryer basket; make sure they're not crowded or touching. Spray lightly with cooking spray and cook until just light golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cool slightly, dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve.
