Ingredients

• 1 package wonton wrappers
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 2 green onions, finely chopped

• 1/4 teaspoon soy sauce (optional)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• Cooking spray or oil

Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, soy sauce (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
2. Assemble the Rolls:
   • Lay out a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Place a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center.
   • Brush the edges of the wrapper with beaten egg to seal. Fold the wrapper into a roll or triangle, ensuring no filling leaks out. Press the edges to seal tightly.
3. Prepare for Baking:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
   • Arrange the assembled Rangoon rolls on the baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with beaten egg for a golden finish.
4. Bake to Perfection:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the rolls are crisp and golden brown.
5. Serve:
   • Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Recipe Tips

• Make Ahead: Assemble the rolls and refrigerate them until ready to bake.
• Freezing Option: Freeze unbaked rolls on a tray, then transfer them to a freezer bag for storage. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
• Add Texture: Mix in some finely chopped crab or shrimp with the cream cheese for a seafood twist.

What to Serve With This Recipe

• Serve as an appetizer or snack with dipping sauces like sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or teriyaki glaze.
• Pair with a light Asian-inspired salad or a side of steamed edamame for a complete meal.
