Cream Cheese Wontons
















1 Pkg of wonton wrappers
2 pkgs cream cheese (can use lowfat)
3 1/2 TBL sugar
3 squirts of lemon juice
Mix cream cheese, sugar and lemon juice together and place a small spoonful on each wonton wrapper. Brush edges lightly with water and seal tightly. (make sure they are not over stuffed with cheese and the seal is tight or the cream cheese will pour out into the hot oil and you will get splattered). Fry in oil for a few seconds on each side. Place on paper towels to cool slightly. Keep warm in oven.

Sweet and sour sauce
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
dash of chili powder
Mix together and boil until clear
Add 2 tsp cornstarch dissolved in 2 TBL of water. Add red food coloring if desired.
