1 tbsp mayonnaise (for creaminess)

1 tsp sugar (yes, really—it’s part of the magic)

1 clove garlic, minced (or ¼ tsp garlic powder)

½ tsp soy sauce (adds umami depth)

Optional: Pinch of onion powder or green onion

For Assembly:

24 wonton wrappers (found in the refrigerated section near tofu)

Oil for frying (vegetable, canola, or peanut oil)

Water (to seal the edges)

For Dipping:

Sweet and sour sauce

Duck sauce
