CRABBY CREAM CHEESE WONTONS

Wonton wrappers are filled with cream cheese, crab meat (I use imitation, but you can use either), garlic, and onions. You just have to heat them so the cheese is melted hot. Don't overcook. Serve with rice and sweet and sour sauce. Good as an appetizer, or meal.

Time 40m

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cups oil (for deep frying, or you can use non-stick, zero-calorie cooking spray to save on fat and calories)
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 (12 ounce) package imitation crabmeat
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 bunch green onion, finely chopped
1 (14 ounce) package wonton wrappers
2 egg whites
soy sauce (for dipping) or sweet and sour sauce (for dipping)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl mix cream cheese, imitation crabmeat, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, Worcestershire sauce and green onions.
  • Place about a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper.
  • Put egg whites in a bowl.
  • Use your fingers or a brush to apply the egg whites over two edges of the wonton wrappers.
  • Fold into triangles and press to seal edges.
  • In small batches, deep fry the won tons until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
  • (Note: to make this healthier I brush the whole wonton with egg white after it's sealed and then I just sauté it with no-calorie nonstick cooking spray).

Tips:

  • For the wonton wrappers, you can use store-bought or make your own. If using store-bought, be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • To make the crab filling, be sure to use fresh crab meat. If using frozen crab meat, thaw it completely before using.
  • For the cream cheese filling, be sure to use softened cream cheese. This will make it easier to mix and spread.
  • To seal the wontons, be sure to wet the edges of the wonton wrappers with water before folding them over.
  • When frying the wontons, be sure to use a deep fryer or a large pot with at least 2 inches of oil. The oil should be heated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit before frying the wontons.
  • To serve the wontons, you can use a variety of dipping sauces, such as sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, or chili sauce.
