How to roll wonton mozzarella sticks?

Do I have to freeze mozzarella sticks before frying?

It’s optional but recommended. Freezing helps prevent the cheese from oozing out during frying.

Marinara, ranch, garlic aioli, or even a spicy sriracha mayo.

Wonton Mozzarella Sticks Recipe

Description

Wonton mozzarella sticks are crispy, cheesy, and irresistibly easy to make with just five ingredients and 10 minutes. The perfect snack for any party or movie night.

Ingredients

Scale

4 string cheese, halved (8 pieces total)
8 wonton wrappers
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon water
1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
1/2 cup marinara sauce (for dipping)

Instructions

Heat vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat until it reaches 325°F.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of water.
Place one wonton wrapper on a clean surface and position a piece of string cheese in the center.
Brush the edges with egg wash, then roll tightly from the bottom, folding in the sides like an envelope. Seal the top edge.
Repeat the process with remaining cheese and wrappers.
Fry 3–4 sticks at a time in the skillet for 1–2 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

Freeze wrapped mozzarella sticks for 15 minutes before frying to minimize cheese leakage.
Use a thermometer to ensure oil temperature stays at 325°F for optimal crispiness.
Add spices like garlic powder or Italian seasoning to elevate the flavor.
For a healthier version, bake at 400°F for 10–12 minutes or air fry at 375°F for 6–8 minutes.
