Instructions
1. Make the Filling:
• In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, chopped jackfruit, lime zest, and any optional flavorings (chili, salt, etc.).
• Taste and adjust sweetness or spice to your liking.
2. Assemble Wontons:
• Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface.
• Spoon ~1 tsp of filling into the center.
• Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper.
• Fold into a triangle or bring all 4 corners up to make a money bag shape, pressing tightly to seal.
• Keep the wrappers you’re not using under a damp cloth so they don’t dry out.
3. Cook:
To Deep Fry:
• Heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
• Fry wontons in small batches for 1–2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
• Drain on paper towels and sprinkle lightly with salt.
To Air Fry:
• Lightly spray both sides with oil.
• Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crisp and golden.
Enjoy! 😊
