INSTRUCTIONS
- Heat vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 350 degrees. Monitor the temperature of the oil and adjust the heat source to maintain the temperature.
- While oil heats up, whip the cream cheese with a hand mixer until fluffy and smooth. Add in the diced avocado and gently fold in with a spoon.
- In a small bowl, whisk together egg and water to create an egg wash.
- Lightly brush both sides of the wonton wrapper with the egg wash. Put about 1 teaspoon of the avocado cream cheese filling in the center of each wonton. Fold the wontons by bringing opposite corners together into the center, and repeat with the remaining corners. Pinch shut and be sure to remove any air pockets.
- Working in small batches, fry wontons in the hot oil until golden brown, about one to two minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the golden brown wontons from the oil and put on paper towels to drain. Serve hot.
Cilantro Lime Dipping Sauce
- In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, honey, ginger, and garlic. Stir in cilantro. Serve with hot wontons for dipping.
