Method
 

Prepare the Filling
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped green onions, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Assemble the Wontons
  1. Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Put about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of the wrapper.
  2. Dip your finger in the water and moisten the edges of the wrapper.
  3. Fold the wrapper into a triangle or bring all four corners to the center and pinch tightly to seal, ensuring there are no air bubbles inside.
Fry the Wontons
  1. Heat about 2 inches of oil in a large skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Carefully place 4-6 wontons in the hot oil at a time. Fry for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  3. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
