Into a bowl combine: cream cheese, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, toasted sesame oil, chili crisp, garlic powder, pepper, salt, scallions, diced jalapeños or habaneros. Mix until smooth and fully combined. The filling should be creamy, savory, and slightly spicy.
Lay the wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Add about ½ tablespoon to 1 tablespoon of fillingin the center of each wrapper.
Lightly dip your finger in water and run it along the edges of the wrapper. Fold and seal tightly. You can shape them into triangles, rectangles, or little pillows just make sure they’re sealed well so the filling stays inside.
Heat about 2inches of oil in a panto 350°F. Carefully add the wontons and fry for 2–3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Pile the crispy wontons onto a serving plate. Drizzle generously with the spicy gochujang mayo, scallions, chili crisp and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
