FAQs

Can I use pre-made ravioli instead of wonton wrappers?

Yes, but the texture will be different. Wonton wrappers provide a lighter, crispier bite.

What dipping sauces go well with these ravioli?

Ketchup, mustard, burger sauce, ranch, or chipotle mayo are all great options.

How do I keep the ravioli from opening while frying?

Press the edges firmly and use a fork to crimp the seal for extra security.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes! Assemble them ahead and store in the fridge or freezer until ready to fry.

What’s the best oil for frying?

Vegetable oil, canola oil, or peanut oil work best for deep frying.

Can I make these vegetarian?

Yes! Substitute the ground beef with plant-based meat or mushrooms.

How do I prevent my ravioli from getting greasy?

Make sure the oil is at the correct temperature (350°F) and drain on paper towels after frying.

Can I use phyllo dough instead of wonton wrappers?

Phyllo is too delicate for deep frying, but you can bake it for a flaky alternative.

How do I keep them crispy for serving?

Place fried ravioli on a wire rack instead of paper towels to keep them from getting soggy.

Can I use a deep fryer instead of a pot?

Yes! A deep fryer ensures even frying and maintains the perfect temperature.
