Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) sweet corn kernels, drained
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup (50 g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste), adjust to taste
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 20–25 wonton wrappers
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Salt for seasoning

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wonton Chips: Heat 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep saucepan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Cut wonton wrappers into triangles or desired chip shapes. Fry in batches for 1-2 minutes until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels and season with salt. Set aside.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics: In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the Corn: Stir in drained corn kernels and sugar. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Mix in the Creamy Base: Reduce heat to low. Add mayonnaise and gochujang, stirring well to combine. Adjust spice level as desired.
  5. Add Cheese: Sprinkle in mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Stir gently until cheeses melt into a smooth, gooey mixture.
  6. Season: Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed. Keep heat low to avoid burning cheese.
  7. Optional Broil Finish: Transfer dip to an oven-safe dish and broil on high for 2-3 minutes for a golden top, watching carefully.
  8. Serve Immediately: Spoon warm dip into a bowl and serve with crispy wonton chips.

Notes

If dip is too thick, add a splash of milk or cream to loosen. If too runny, stir in extra cheese and cook gently. Fry wonton chips at medium-high heat to avoid excess oil absorption. Can bake wonton chips as a lighter alternative. Adjust spice level by varying gochujang amount. Prepare dip ahead but add cheese just before serving.
