Ingredients




1 package of cream cheese (onion chive works well)
1 package of crab legs or meat, drained
2 tablespoons of flour
3 scallions, minced
1 egg, beaten
Oil for frying
Wonton Wrappers

Preparation

1 Beat the egg in a small bowl - this will be used to brush the edges of the wonton wrappers before folding, and helps to keep them together (you can also just use water). 2 Place a spoonful of the cream cheese in the middle of the wonton wrapper. 3 Next, add a piece of crap and a few bits of chive. 4 Then, brush edges with egg mixture or water. 5 Fold over to form a triangle, then press edges together to seal. Bring the two side edge corners of the triangle to the middle and press these together to form a ring. 6 Heat oil to 350 degrees in a large, heavy bottomed pan, make sure to cover the wontons. 7 Fry wontons (around 3-4 at a time) until golden, turning once or twice for about 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels and serve with a sweet and sour sauce.
