They offer a satisfying crunch and a rich, savory flavor that makes them a perfect starter for any meal or party. This recipe stays true to traditional cooking methods and is sure to please any crowd.

Ingredients:

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 package wonton wrappers
• Vegetable oil for frying
• Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.
2. Lay out a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of the wrapper.
3. Moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with a little water. Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal tightly. You can also fold the corners of the triangle up to form a 'purse' shape if desired.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the filled rangoons in batches, frying until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
5. Remove the rangoons from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
