Duck Bacon & Sweetcorn Wontons
A true fan favorite, these crispy wontons bring together the richness of duck bacon, the sweetness of flame-roasted corn, and the creaminess of fresh cream cheese. These flavors are perfectly balanced with red peppers, green onions, and an array of herbs and spices, including basil, salt, and white pepper, all wrapped in a delicate wonton wrapper.
Cooking Versatility
Duck Bacon & Sweetcorn Wontons are incredibly versatile, offering multiple ways to prepare them. Whether you deep fry them for a golden crisp, steam them for a tender bite, boil them for a softer texture, or pan-fry them for a buttery finish, these wontons are ready in just minutes. Deep frying is the best choice for a crispier exterior that complements the creamy, flavorful filling. A great and fast alternative for cooking these delicious bites is using an air fryer to crisp them up without the mess of deep frying.
