In the bowl of a mixer (or you can do it by hand,) mix together
the cream cheese, green onions, and Sriracha/hot sauce until
totally combined (scrape the mixer bowl if necessary.)
In a separate bowl, mix together the egg and water.
One at a time, assemble the wontons- place approximately 1/2
teaspoon mixture on on corner of a wonton wrapper. Use your
finger to paint the egg wash all around the edges of the
wrapper. Roll the wrapper on a diagonal, starting with the cream
cheese corner and stopping when half the wrapper is rolled and
the cream cheese mixture is inside. Bring up the two ends and
use the egg wash to stick them together. Allow the remaining
pointed end to naturally tuck backward. (The wontons should
resemble tortellini.) As you work, place the assembled wontons
under plastic wrap or a light towel to keep them from drying.
Heat 2-3 inches of oil in a large saucepan or medium skillet to
just under 350 degrees (you don't want the oil too hot or it will
burn the wontons! Experiment with a spare sheet of wonton
wrappers to check.
About 4 to 5 at a time, fry the wontons for about 45 seconds to
1 minute, flipping carefully midway through to make sure they
brown evenly. Remove it when you still think it could stand to
slightly, brown a teeny bit more (because it will slightly brown in
the seconds after you remove it from the pan!) Place on paper
towels
