FRIED CRAB WONTONS

Time 1h20m
Yield 40 to 50 wontons
Number Of Ingredients 18
Steps:
- Combine in a food processor the ginger, shallots, carrot, green onion, cilantro, peanut oil and lemon juice. Pulse until fine. Put vegetable mixture in a mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise and the crabmeat and season with salt and pepper. Be careful not to mash the crabmeat, you want that texture when you bite into the wonton.
- Lay a wonton wrapper on a flat surface and brush with the beaten egg white. Drop 1 tablespoon of the crab filling onto the center of the wrapper. Fold the wonton in half, corner to corner, to form a triangle. Press around the filling to knock out any air bubbles, then press the seam together to seal so the filling doesn't seep out. You can leave them this shape or continue on by brushing the 2 side points with beaten egg white. Lay your index finger in the center so you have something to press up against, then fold the 2 sides into the center, slightly overlapping, and press the dough against your finger with your thumb to form a tight seal. Lightly dust the filled wontons with cornstarch to keep them from sticking together and place them on a cookie sheet. (When these are folded they look like Pope hats.)
- Heat 2 to 3 inches of oil in a deep heavy saucepan to 370 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Add a few of the wontons to the oil and cook, turning them 3 or 4 times to get them nicely browned all over. Carefully lift them out of the pan with a slotted spoon and onto a paper towel-lined platter to drain. Keep going to cook all of the wontons.
- Stir together the dipping sauce and serve with the wontons.

Tips:
- Choose the right wonton wrappers. Thicker wrappers will hold more filling and will not tear as easily as thin wrappers. You can find wonton wrappers in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores.
- Prepare the filling ahead of time. This will make the assembly process much easier. You can make the filling up to a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
- Be careful not to overfill the wontons. Too much filling will make them difficult to fold and seal. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1 tablespoon of filling per wonton.
- Fold the wontons tightly. This will prevent the filling from leaking out during frying. You can use a variety of folding methods, but the most common is the triangle fold.
- Fry the wontons in hot oil. This will help them to cook evenly and quickly. The oil should be between 350 and 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Drain the wontons on paper towels. This will help to remove excess oil.
- Serve the wontons immediately. They are best served hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
Fried wontons are a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack. They can be filled with a variety of ingredients, including meat, seafood, vegetables, and cheese. They are also relatively easy to make, and can be prepared ahead of time. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give fried wontons a try!
