Place 0.5 tsp filling in the center of a wonton wrapper. Wet two adjacent edges with water.

Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle, pressing edges to seal tightly.

Bring two bottom corners together and pinch to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers.

Heat oil in a medium pot or wok to 350°F. If no thermometer, test with a wooden chopstick—steady bubbles should form.
