Ingredients

12 ounce wonton wraps
vegetable, canola, or peanut oil
seasonings such as salt, freshly ground black pepper, or Cajun seasoning

Instructions

Heat 1-2 inches of oil to 350°F in a cast iron skillet or Dutch oven. Use an old Dutch oven as the oil can stain the pot.
Meanwhile, cut the wonton skins into strips. Work in batches of about 10. Cut them in half and then cut the halves in half. Keep the wontons covered with a well-squeezed water-dampened paper towel.
Fry them in the oil until golden brown, flipping them with a spider strainer. Work in batches so as not to overcrowd the pot. Remove the strips from the hot oil with a spider strainer and place them on paper towels to drain.
Season the warm wontons.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days.
