Storage Tips
Fried wonton strips are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crispness and prevent them from becoming stale or absorbing moisture. Avoid storing them in the refrigerator, as this can cause them to soften. If properly stored, they can last for several weeks. For longer storage, consider freezing them in a single layer before transferring to an airtight container to prevent sticking. Reheat in a low-temperature oven to restore crispness.
