tips to make Easy Won Ton Appetizers

Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying. This will help the won tons to cook evenly and become crispy.
Don’t overfill the wrappers; otherwise, they might burst while frying.
For a healthier option, you can bake the won tons instead of frying. Brush them with a little oil and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes or until golden.

variation

You can change the filling to suit your taste. Try adding veggies like chopped mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers. You can also use ground pork or beef instead of chicken and shrimp for a different flavor.
