Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese at room temperature
- 8 oz imitation crab meat shredded or chopped
- 2 heaping tablespoons sliced green onions
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- wonton wrappers about 30
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 quart oil for frying
- coarse salt
Instructions
- Place the cream cheese in a bowl and beat with a hand mixer until light and smooth.
- Stir in the crab, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar.
- Working with one wonton wrapper at a time, place about a tablespoon of the crab mixture in the center. Brush the edges with beaten egg. (This will be your glue.)
- Bring two opposite corners of the wrapper together, then bring in the other corners, forming a little bundle or package. Pinch the corners together, then pinch down the sides to make sure the filling is completely sealed inside the wrapper.
- Repeat with the rest of the wrappers and filling.
- Heat the oil in in a pot or deep pan to 350ºF.
- Fry the wontons a few at a time, depending on the size of your pan. Cook, turning as needed, until they are golden brown, 3-4 minutes.
- Remove from the oil to a paper towel lined plate and immediately sprinkle with just a little bit of coarse salt.
- Serve with sweet Thai chili sauce or sweet and sour sauce.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh crab for the imitation crab. I do not like using canned crab because it makes the filling to wet and it tends to leak out of the wrappers.
- To bake, assemble the wontons as directed in the recipe. Spray with nonstick cooking spray and bake at 375ºF for 12-15 minutes.
- Nutrition information provided as an estimate only. Various brands and products can change the counts. Any nutritional information should be used as a general guide. Nutrition value for the frying oil is based on a retention of 1/4 cup of oil after frying. Cooking time and temperature can cause this number to change.
