Making fried wonton strips from scratch is easy and only calls for a few ingredients. Crunchy, fried strips of thin cut dough perfect for topping a salad or snacking on its own.
Add egg, water, and salt to a bowl. Whisk until well combined and set aside.
Add flour to a bowl and create a well in the center. Add the liquid ingredients to the center. Slowly incorporate the wet ingredients into the flour.
Lightly dust your work area with cornstarch to help prevent sticking. Turn the dough out. Knead for 5-10 minutes or until the dough has come together and is smooth.
Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest for 15-30 minutes.
Once the dough has rested, heat a pot of oil to 350F.
Roll the dough out into a thin layer and cut out a large rectangle. From that rectangle, cut 3-4 inch squares. Stack the squares onto one another using cornstarch to prevent sticking. You can stop here and use this classic shape for any wonton wrapper, otherwise cut into ½ inch strips.
Dust off excess cornstarch and place in oil. Fry until golden brown or about 1-2 minutes.
Remove from oil and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Cool and ENJOY!
