Ingredients

  • 4 cups vegetable oil
  • 6 pieces mozzarella string cheese, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • hot pepper sauce, for dipping

Directions

  1. 1
    Pour enough oil into a medium saucepan to reach a depth of 1 1/2 inches; place over low heat.
  2. 2
    Place a piece of string cheese diagonally across the center of a wonton wrapper.
  3. 3
    Moisten edges of wrapper with water, lift up all 4 corners, and pinch them together to make a bundle in the center.
  4. 4
    Firmly pinch the sides of the wonton together, squeezing out as much air as possible.
  5. 5
    Repeat with the remaining string cheese pieces and wrappers.
  6. 6
    Raise the heat to medium-high and heat the oil for a few minutes, until hot enough to brown a small piece of wonton wrapper in about 1 minute.
  7. 7
    Add 4 to 6 bundles to oil and cook, turning occasionally, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
  8. 8
    Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain, then fry the remaining bundles.
  9. 9
    Serve bundles immediately with hot sauce on the side.
