How do you keep wontons crispy after frying? ›

What are wonton chips made of? These chips are made from refrigerated wonton wrappers, which you can buy at the grocery store. They're such a great shortcut. I've also used them in my Easy Wonton Soup and Butternut Squash Ravioli with Sage Butter.

You could be thinking that it has something to do with the wrappers. Perhaps they are not of good quality or they just don't taste nice to begin with. But to solve this mystery, it is actually the flour, usually wheat, that makes the wonton wrappers tough and bitter, and even gummy.

First, you want to spray the wontons with some kind of cooking spray. This ensures that the wonton can turn golden brown but that it won't get soggy from too much oil. Wonton wrappers are normally very thin so adding the weight of too much oil can cause them to lose some crispiness.

This recipe for wonton chips is healthier than if you were to go out or buy a bag of tortilla chips at the store. And here's why: What is this? There's no oil involved.

Nobody likes a soggy Fried Wonton, and there's a great trick to getting the wrapper ultra crisp. Instead of sealing the wrapper shut like an envelope with water, you leave the majority of the folded wrapper unsealed, using just a dab of water to pinch the ends together.

Freeze cooled baked wontons in a freezer container, separating layers with waxed paper. To use, reheat on a baking sheet in a preheated 400° oven until crisp and heated through.

Press out the air: When sealing the wonton, try to press out as much air as possible. If you have too much air in the filling, it will balloon up while frying and cause the wonton to burst open.

Optional step: then dip it into a bowl of cold water for just a second (to make the wrapper firmer so it doesn't become 'gooey') then place them into each individual bowls if serving with soup or a large platter if serving with dipping sauces.

I've researched online best methods to transport these crispy treats since I want them to arrive as fresh as possible. So far I believe the best I can do is open the container as soon as I pick them up, put some paper towels on and put them on the passenger seat with the seat heater on.

You can keep these crispy Sausage & Cheese Filled Wontons warm on a sheet pan loosely covered with foil until ready to serve. If taking to a party or tailgating just put in a pan and cover with a couple of layers of foil. They are tasty hot, warm or at room temperature.
