_Sips coffee_ Ladies and gents, let me tell you about my absolute favorite midnight craving that’ll have you doing a happy dance in your kitchen at 2 AM – my infamous Crispy Sweet & Spicy Asian Glazed Wontons! 🥢
Y’all know those nights when you’re binge-watching your favorite show and suddenly your stomach starts having a whole conversation with you? Well, honey, I’ve got the perfect solution that’s way better than that sad bag of chips in your pantry.
These crispy little pockets of joy are seriously addictive (don’t say I didn’t warn you!), and they’re ready in just 20 minutes. The best part? You probably have most of these ingredients hiding in your kitchen right now!
Here’s what you’ll need:
– Wonton wrappers (find them in the refrigerated section)
– Ground pork or chicken (whatever floats your boat)
– Minced garlic (3 cloves, because vampires, right?)
– Grated ginger (about a thumb-sized piece)
– Green onions (chopped)
– Soy sauce
– Honey
– Sriracha (adjust according to how brave you’re feeling)
– Sesame oil
Girl, let me walk you through this magic:
1. Mix your meat with minced garlic, ginger, and chopped green onions. Add a splash of soy sauce and a tiny drizzle of sesame oil. Get in there with your hands – don’t be shy!
1. Place about a teaspoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Dab the edges with water (this is our glue, bestie), and fold into triangles. Pinch those edges like you’re holding onto your last bit of patience!

1. Heat oil in a pan (about 2 inches deep) until it’s hot but not smoking. We’re frying these babies until they’re golden brown – about 2-3 minutes per side.
1. While they’re frying, whisk together equal parts soy sauce and honey, add a squirt of Sriracha. This glaze is _chef’s kiss_
1. Drain your wontons on paper towels, then toss them in the glaze while they’re still hot.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and extra green onions if you’re feeling fancy (and trust me, at midnight, we’re always feeling fancy!).
These crispy bites are seriously better than any takeout you’ve ever had. They’re crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and that sweet-spicy glaze? Girl, it’s everything! 😍
