FAQS

Can I substitute egg roll wrappers for wonton wrappers? Yes, you can usually use these interchangeably. Egg roll wrappers and wonton wrappers are essentially made with the same ingredients: flour and water. Egg is added to wonton wrappers which makes them more pliable. Egg roll wrappers are usually larger and thicker than wonton wrappers, so they may take longer to cook.

How do you keep wonton chips crispy? There are a few tips for keeping your chips crispy. First, do not overcrowd them in the air fryer or frying pan. Secondly, make sure the wonton skins are free from moisture and completely dry before frying. Lastly, allow them to cool completely and then store in an airtight sealed container to maintain their crunch.

What can I use wonton skins for? Wonton skins are usually used to make wontons (surprise, surprise!) full of ingredients inside that range from cheese to vegetables to shrimp filling. Wonton wrappers can be used to make crab rangoon which is similar to a wonton with a filling of cream cheese, crab, and green onions. They are also used to make chips and strips for snacking or garnishes as shown in this recipe.

SUBSTITUTIONS

Wonton wrappers – You can use egg roll wrappers instead. See notes above in FAQS for more information.

Olive Oil – You can really use any kind of oil for this recipe. If you are pan frying or deep frying, some good oil choices with a high smoke point include vegetable oil, canola oil, or peanut oil.

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR CRISPY WONTON CHIPS

Depending on how you will use these chips you can cut them in different shapes and sizes. Long strips will work well for salad or soups. Larger chips will be better for dipping or snacking.
Pan Fried Version: You can also use a deep fryer or fry these on the stove: Heat about 2” in oil in a heavy pan. Add wonton chips and fry for 1-2 minutes or until the desired color is achieved. Cook in batches. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
You can experiment with your favorite seasonings such as pepper, garlic powder, or everything but the bagel seasoning. Cinnamon sugar would make some sweet dessert chips.
Store in a zip lock bag or airtight container when cool. They will last for up to a week at room temperature.
