Our favorite wonton
My family loves Asian food! One of the recipes we like to make, and one of my husband’s favorite recipes, is cream cheese ravioli-have you tried it?
If we don’t make omelets, this is the recipe we make. It is crispy and delicious, full of our favorite delicious cream cheese mixture. It is also easy to make and is a perfect match for any of our Asian dishes such as sweet and sour chicken or Tso’s chicken.
If you have eaten cream cheese ravioli, you will know that they usually contain different ingredients. Sometimes crab meat is chopped and added. Other times, there are only spices and onions.
Since we are not a big fan of seafood, we omitted any meat and added a very delicious cream cheese mixture that contains lemon pepper, garlic pepper and paprika.
