Ingredients
For the kamaboko wontons
- 1 block kamaboko
- 8 ouces cream cheese
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- ¼ cup green onions
- ½ tsp salt to taste
- ½ tsp pepper to taste
For the spam wontons
- 1 can spam
- ¼ cup green onions
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
Wrappers

Instructions
Make the kamaboko filling
- Add your kamaboko together with the cream cheese, sour cream, mayo, green onions, salt, and pepper into a food processor and blend them until it's a thick paste.
- Take out the bowl and set it aside. That's your mix for the first batch of wontons.
Make the spam filling
- Cut your spam into tiny cubes and saute it in a pan with a little oil for a couple of minutes.
- In the meantime, slice your green onions into small pieces and add them to the pan.
- Add your soy sauce to the pan and saute for 3 minutes until the green onions are browned. Set this aside in a separate bowl. This will be your mixture for the second batch.
Fill the wontons
- Place a wonton wrapper in your hand and use the other to take a spoonful of the kamaboko or spam mixture and spread it across the middle. Fold the wonton wrapper over itself. Then wet your finger with water and seal the wonton.
- Put each wonton you finish in a damp paper towel-covered pan to make sure they keep moist.
Deep-fry the wontons
- Deep fry each of the wontons in oil for 30-60 seconds or until golden brown. You can do a few at a time like this until you get all of them.
