Ingredients

Cilantro Lime Dipping Sauce

• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 limes, juiced

Wontons

• 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
• 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese
• 2 ripe avocados, peeled, seed removed, and diced
• 1 package won ton wrappers
• 1 egg + 1 tablespoon water, lightly beaten

Preparation

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together cilantro lime dipping sauce ingredients. Set aside.

2. Heat vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat (should reach 350 degrees).

3. While oil heats up, whip the cream cheese with a hand mixer until fluffy and smooth. Add in the diced avocado and gently fold in with a spoon.

4. Lightly brush both sides of the wonton wrapper with the egg wash (1 egg + 1 tablespoon water). Put about a teaspoon of the avocado cream cheese filling in the center of each wonton. Fold the wonton wrappers in half, forming a triangle, and seal the edges. Fold the very ends of each point of the triangle over.

5. Fry wontons in the hot oil 4 at a time until golden brown. This will only take about a minute.or two. Using a slotted spoon, remove the golden brown wontons from the oil and put on paper towels to drain.

6. Divide the dipping sauce into individual bowls and serve with hot wontons.
