Instructions

In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and salt until smooth.
Place a small spoonful of the filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.
Brush the edges of the wrapper with the beaten egg.
Fold the wonton in half to form a triangle or bring all four corners together to make a flower shape. Press the edges to seal.
Heat about 2 inches of oil in a pan to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the wontons in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove and drain on paper towels.
Serve warm with sweet and sour sauce or soy sauce.

Notes

Make sure to press out any air before sealing the wontons to prevent them from bursting during frying.
You can bake or air-fry them for a lighter option. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes or air-fry at 370°F (188°C) for 7-8 minutes.
Add crab meat or shrimp for a seafood twist!
