Vegetarian Stir Fry ft. The Easiest Wontons Ever

I told y’all that I was experimenting with non-meat diets and I did not lie! 

This recipe is something new and sort of came about as one of those meals where you’re too lazy to go to the store but too frugal to order takeout again, so you make a meal out of whatever you can find in your fridge and cupboards! Fortunately for me, I had the makings of one hell of a stir fry! 

Okay, so I have to confess something, I only actually made part of this meal - the wontons. Arjuna made the entree portion, which arguably is the more important part, but they complimented each other so well that I had to include both! 

Moving on, this vegetarian stir fry and wonton appetizer is such a quick, easy, and delicious meal! We made it vegetarian because of Arjuna’s dietary preferences, but you can honestly modify every single aspect of this meal and it will still come out great. If you want to swap Beyond Meat Grounds for actual ground beef, go right ahead! If you’d rather make fresh steamed white or brown rice instead of a surprisingly tasty combo of leftover Chinese takeout white rice and Indian takeout basmati rice, more power to you! Swap out some veggies, switch the seasonings, use different flavored cream cheese, whatever you want! 

This recipe is designed to be tampered with and recreated. It took creativity to make this meal, so I am inviting and encouraging you to get creative when you make it yourself! Put your own spin on this recipe and let me know how it turns out! Remember to tag #BorderlineMillennials when you post your food pics on Insta so I’ll be sure to see it!

Happy eating!

Air Fryer Cream Cheese Wonton Ingredients

• Wonton wrappers

• Philadelphia Chive & Onion Cream Cheese Spread

• One egg

• 1 teaspoon water

Air Fryer Cream Cheese Wonton Cooking Instructions

1. Begin by making your egg wash by whisking your egg with your water.

2. Grab a wonton wrapper and scoop about 2 Tsp. size dollop of cream cheese onto the center of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper diagonally so that there are three corners. Seal the edges with the egg wash.

3. Continue this process for as many times as wontons you would like

4. Coat each side of the wonton with cooking oil and place a few into your air fryer. Only place enough wonton wrappers to fill one complete layer of the air fryer.
