fried wontons

Hot oil pockets

Fried wontons are Chinese dumplings that have been deep-fried until crispy.

The wonton wrapper—a thin square of wheat dough—is folded around a filling of seasoned pork, shrimp, or cream cheese, then fried golden brown.

They're served as appetizers or snacks, often with sweet and sour sauce or hot mustard for dipping: We ordered fried wontons to start.
