Wonton Mozzarella Sticks

I know everyone associates mozzarella sticks with marinara sauce, but I prefer these with Chinese hot mustard or sweet and sour dipping sauce. Another thing I've tried to spice these sticks up is to spread a little bit of diced jalapenos along the cheese before wrapping, and serve with guacamole as a dip ;-)

Ingredients:

• 12 pieces mozzarella string cheese
• 12 wonton wrappers
• Oil for frying

Directions:

Keep wonton wrappers covered with a damp cloth while you work on wrapping in batches. Place a piece of string cheese near the bottom corner of one egg roll wrapper, fold bottom corner over cheese, roll up halfway, and fold side edges of wontons over the cheese ends. Moisten remaining wonton edges with water and roll up tightly, pressing firmly but gently to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and cheese.

Heat 1 to 2 inches of oil in a skillet to about 375 degrees F and fry sticks in batches for 30 to 60 seconds on each side or until golden brown. Drain on towels and serve.
