Sweet Corn and Cheese Rangoons
These sweet corn and cheese rangoons are crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. The sweet corn goes so well with the cream cheese, and the crunchy wonton wrappers make them even better.
Servings: 20
Ingredients
- 20-30 wonton wrappers
- 2-3 ears corn
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon granulated garlic
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- ½ jalapeño finely diced
- 2 scallions finely sliced
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- oil, for frying
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the corn with oil and grill for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and lightly charred on all sides. Allow it to cool slightly, then cut the kernels off the cob.
- Add the grilled corn kernels, cream cheese, soy sauce, granulated garlic, sugar, jalapeño, scallions, and mozzarella cheese to a large bowl. Mix until well combined.
- Place a wonton wrapper on a clean work surface and add about 1 tablespoon of filling to the center. Lightly wet the edges with water, then fold and press firmly to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Working in batches, fry the rangoons for 1-2 minutes, turning as needed, until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve with sweet chili sauce, if desired, and enjoy!
Notes
- Don’t overfill the wontons. About 1 tablespoon of filling is plenty. Too much can cause them to burst while frying.
- Seal them really well. Lightly wet the edges of the wonton wrappers with water and press firmly to prevent the filling from leaking out.
- Keep the wrappers covered. Wonton wrappers dry out quickly, so keep them covered with a slightly damp paper towel while you work.
- Keep the oil around 350°F. If it’s too hot, the wrappers will brown before the filling is heated through.Fry in batches. Overcrowding the pot can lower the oil temperature and make the rangoons greasy.
- Serve immediately. They’re best enjoyed hot while the wrappers are still crispy.
