Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 120 grams Imitation crab meat (or cooked crab meat)
- 120 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 large Egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons Honey (for drizzling, optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, imitation or cooked crab meat, powdered sugar, soy sauce, and finely chopped green onions until well combined.
On a clean, flat surface, lay out a wonton wrapper. Place about 1 teaspoon of the crab and cream cheese filling in the center of the wrapper.
Brush the edges of the wonton wrapper with beaten egg, and fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Optionally, bring the two bottom corners of the triangle together and press them to form a 'pouch' shape. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer over medium heat to 350°F (175°C). Test the oil by dropping a small piece of wonton wrapper in; if it sizzles and turns golden, the oil is ready.
Carefully fry 3-5 wontons at a time for 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining wontons.
For a sweet twist, drizzle the fried wontons with honey before serving. Serve warm as an appetizer or snack.
