My husband, my kids, and I often visited this nearby Chinese buffet. It offered a large selection of tasty foods at reasonable prices. What kept me returning was the all-you-can-eat crab legs. I always indulged in seconds and thirds. Over the years, the quality of the restaurant declined, and we eventually stopped going.
These wonton chips are inspired by another dish I enjoyed on the restaurant’s menu: the sweet fried wontons. I love the simplicity, crunch, and subtle sweetness. The wontons were just fried, and I suspect they are sweetened with a sugar syrup.
My version of wontons is honey-glazed and topped with sesame seeds. They are crispy, sweet, sticky, and delicious!
If you take a moment to browse this site, you’ll see that I’m a fan of wonton cooking. These Shrimp Wonton Chips and Pork and Shrimp Fried Wontons are incredible! Plus, this Pork and Shrimp Wonton Soup makes me feel so warm and cozy!
Here’s how I make these Honey Glazed Fried Wonton Chips!
Recipe highlights:
- Preheat a large skillet with 1 inch of oil to 350°F.
- Add 6 to 8 wontons at a time to the hot oil. Do not overcrowd.
- Fry until golden brown, turning wontons over halfway.
- Transfer to a baking sheet fitted with a cooling rack to drain oil.
- Continue frying the remaining wonton wraps.
- Heat honey and butter on the stovetop or in the microwave until the butter melts.
- Brush the tops of each wonton with the honey mixture.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
I’ve been frying a bit more than usual lately, but when the family craves a tasty treat to brighten the day, fried food is always appreciated around here. I don’t feel too guilty about indulging in these. After all, the gooey honey and sesame seeds almost make the wontons qualify as healthy food.😀
