Cream Cheese Rangoon

What is it?

Crispy fried wonton triangles filled with cream cheese, these appetizer pieces come as a Panda Express add-on rather than part of a plate or bowl. Each one starts as a folded wrapper, then goes into hot oil, where it turns golden and blistered while the filling softens into a warm, lightly sweet center. Unlike the Chicken Egg Roll in the same lineup, this option skips vegetables and meat and stays centered on the creamy filling. It’s usually sold in a small count as an a la carte side, and sweet and sour sauce is the usual dip alongside it.
