Crispy Fried Wonton!
The preparation for this Appetizer is simple! Just mixed all the ingredients, then place it on the wonton wrapper, seal it, and fry it! The crispy outside is a beautiful contrast to the warm smooth cream cheese crab filling inside!
Ingredients:
- Wonton Wrappers
- deep fryer with canola oil
- 5 ounces drained crab meat
- 4 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 1 clove garlic,minced
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 green onion thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- salt and pepper
- sweet asian chili sauce (for dipping the wonton into)
Directions:
- Heat the deep fryer to 350 degrees.
- Combine and mix together the crab, cream cheese, green onion, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic, and sesame oil.
- Place about 2 teaspoons full of the crab mixture into the center of each wonton wrapper. Seal by putting water along the edges of the wonton, and press to shut in the shape of a triangle. You can leave the wontons as a triangle or you can go a step further and press the far corners on the triangle together. (both ways are pictured above)
- Next, place 3-4 wontons at a time into the deep fryer, and fry until the outsides of the wrappers are golden and crispy! Remove from fryer and place on paper towel-lined plate to cool.
- Serve with sweet asian chili sauce to dip the wontons in!
Enjoy! I really loved the way these turned out!!
