# How to Make It:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, spring onions, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.
02 - Place a wonton wrapper on a clean, dry surface. Spoon approximately 1 teaspoon of filling into the center.
03 - Dip your fingertip in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Fold into a triangle, pressing out any air and sealing the edges tightly.
04 - Optionally, bring the two bottom corners of the triangle together and seal with water to form a traditional wonton shape.
05 - Repeat the filling and sealing process with the remaining wrappers and filling until all are assembled.
06 - Preheat your air fryer to 350°F for 3 minutes.
07 - Lightly spray or brush the wontons with oil. Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket, working in batches if necessary.
08 - Air fry for 7 to 8 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.
09 - Serve hot with sweet chili sauce or your preferred dipping sauce.
