For a dessert twist, omit the salt and instead toss the hot chips in a mixture of cinnamon and granulated sugar.
Add a pinch of cayenne pepper, chili powder, or five-spice powder to the salt before sprinkling over the hot chips for a savory kick.
Instead of triangles, cut the wonton wrappers into thin strips for a different texture and presentation, perfect for topping soups and salads.
As a carbohydrate-rich snack, wonton chips can provide a quick burst of energy, making them a satisfying treat when you need a little pick-me-up.
The crispy texture and savory flavor of wonton chips can be a delightful comfort food. Enjoying such treats in moderation can contribute to overall well-being and satisfaction.
A serving of approximately 16 wonton chips contains around 280 calories. This is an estimate, as the final calorie count depends on the amount of oil absorbed during frying.
Wonton chips are a deep-fried snack and are high in carbohydrates and fat, so they are best enjoyed in moderation as an occasional treat rather than a health food.
Yes, for a healthier alternative, you can bake them. Arrange the wonton triangles on a baking sheet, lightly spray with cooking oil, and sprinkle with salt. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until golden and crisp. They will be less puffy but still delicious.
They are incredibly versatile! Classic pairings include duck sauce, sweet and sour sauce, and Chinese hot mustard. They also go well with sweet chili sauce, creamy crab rangoon dip, or even a spicy aioli.
Store cooled wonton chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. They may lose some of their initial crispness over time.
This is almost always due to the oil temperature being too low. When the oil isn't hot enough, the wrappers absorb oil instead of quickly crisping up. Ensure your oil is at 350°F (175°C) before adding the chips.
