Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 oz bacon, chopped
  • 4 oz fresh button mushrooms (or mushrooms of choice), chopped
  • 3 cups baby spinach leaves, washed and chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 4 oz goat or cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 40 wonton wrappers
  • Peanut oil for deep frying
  • Sweet-spicy Asian chili sauce, or dipping sauce of choice

Instruction

  • Fry the bacon in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until done. Add the mushrooms and cook until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Add the spinach and garlic and cook for just a minute or two, until the spinach is wilted.
  • Place the mixture in a bowl and let it cool down. Add the goat or cream cheese and stir to combine.
  • Place about 1 teaspoon of the mixture in the center of each wonton. Use your finger to wet the rims of each wonton (to help seal them) and gather up each side like a parcel, gently pressing to seal the dough together. Or prepare them in any shape you prefer.
  • Pour the oil in a small saucepan to about 2 inches high. Heat the oil to roughly 375°F. Place a few wontons in the hot oil and fry until golden brown, turning over halfway into it. Place the fried wontons on a plate lined with paper towels and keep warm in the oven. Repeat the process with the remaining wontons.
  • Serve with a sweet-spicy Asian chili sauce (or your favorite sauce).
