All you have to do to make these crispy wonton mozzarella sticks is roll then fry.
Instructions
1
Wrap the cheese sticks
2
Place a piece of string cheese near the bottom corner of one egg roll wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the cheese and roll it up halfway. Fold the sides toward the center and over the cheese. Moisten the remaining corner with water, then roll it up tightly to seal it. Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and cheese. Test Kitchen Tip: Keep the remaining wrappers covered with a damp paper towel until you're ready to use them. This will prevent them from drying out.
3
Heat the oil
4
In a deep cast-iron or electric skillet, heat 1/2 inch of oil to 375°. Editor's Tip: Use a kitchen thermometer to monitor the temperature of the oil. Too-hot oil will burn the wonton wrapper before the mozzarella is heated through, but too-cold oil will soak into the wonton wrapper, turning it soggy. They're common frying mistakes we don't want you to make!

Fry the wonton mozzarella sticks
6
Fry the sticks, a few at a time, until they're golden brown, 30 to 60 seconds per side. Drain the sticks on paper towels, then serve them with marinara sauce. Editor's Tip: Don't overcrowd the pan, or you could cause a dangerous boil-over.
