1/3 cup chopped ham, extra liquid squeezed out with cheesecloth or paper towel
2 tablespoons chives
2 tsp granulated sugar
1/4 tsp salt
wonton shells
oil for frying
Instructions
In a medium pot, heat oil to 350 degrees. Enough to cover wontons while cooking, about half a pot.
In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream, ham, chives, sugar, and salt together.
Lay out about 6 wontons at a time, keeping the rest covered as to not dry out. Spoon 2 teaspoons of cream cheese mixture in the middle of each wonton. With you fingers, wet the edges of each shell.
Take two opposite points and pinch in half with your fingers while pushing towards the center to close the shell. Take the other two opposite points and do the same.*
Fry 4-5 wontons at a time about a minute-minute and a half or until golden brown. Repeat until all are fried.
Serve with red Thai chili sauce mixed with orange marmalade, or your sauce of choice.
