Ingredients
  

12 wonton wrappers

1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

2 tablespoons sesame seeds

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for a kick)

1 tablespoon freshly chopped chives (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare Wonton Wrappers: Start by cutting each wonton wrapper into thin strips (about 1 inch wide) to create a variety of long and short strips. You can mix and match the sizes for visual appeal.

    Heat Oil: In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of a wonton strip into the oil; if it bubbles and sizzles, the oil is hot enough.

      Fry Wonton Strips: Carefully add a handful of wonton strips into the hot oil. Fry them in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook each batch for about 1-2 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.

        Drain Excess Oil: Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried wonton strips from the oil, then place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

          Season: While the strips are still hot, sprinkle the fried wonton strips with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Toss them gently to ensure even coating.

            Garnish and Serve: Transfer the crispy wonton strips to a serving platter and sprinkle with sesame seeds and freshly chopped chives for added flavor and color.
