Spicy Deep Fried Wontons | Northern Cafe And Grill

If you’re searching for a dish that delivers heat, crunch, and comfort in one bite, the answer often leads to Northern Cafe. Wontons are a type of dumpling made with a square wrapper and are typically filled with pork, shrimp, or cheese.

Our Spicy Deep Fried Wontons are a bold addition to the menu — familiar enough to feel comforting, exciting enough to stand out. Crispy on the outside, rich and savoury inside, and finished with our secret spicy sauce – they’ve quickly become a dish guests talk about long after the table is cleared.

What Makes These Spicy Wontons Different

These aren’t just fried wontons with heat added as an afterthought.

They’re known for:

• A deep golden crunch that holds its texture
• A savoury pork-and-shrimp filling that stays juicy; the filling can include ground pork, shrimp, green onions, and various seasonings
• A balanced spice profile that builds without overwhelming
• A finish that invites another bite, not a glass of water

The result is a dish that feels indulgent but controlled — bold without being reckless.

Crafting the Ideal Dipping Sauces for Spicy Deep Fried Wontons

At Northern Cafe, our spicy deep fried wontons are perfectly paired with our signature dipping sauces that elevate every bite. The star is our sesame soy dressing, a rich and savory blend that combines toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, and a touch of sweetness to complement the crispy wontons and their juicy pork and shrimp filling. This dressing offers a bright, nutty flavor that enhances the dish without overpowering it.

For those who crave an extra kick, we serve our housemade hot sauce, crafted with a blend of fresh chili peppers, garlic, and spices to deliver a bold, aromatic heat that builds with every dip. This spicy sauce adds depth and excitement, perfectly balancing the savory richness of the wontons.

Together, these sauces create a dynamic flavor experience—one savory and nutty, the other fiery and vibrant—giving you the perfect way to customize your meal. Serve your wontons immediately after frying for the best crispy texture, and enjoy the interactive fun of dipping into our unique sauces that keep guests coming back for more.
