Crab Wontons


1/4 cup sour cream
1 (8 oz) cream cheese
1/4 cup crab meat (imitation)
1 green onion diced thin
1/2 tsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
24 wonton wrappers
oil for frying

Whip together the sour cream, cream cheese and soy sauce and sugar until smooth.

Fold in remaining ingredients (except wrappers) Heat oil to med-high and you want it around 1 1/2-2 inches deep.

Place a small bowl of water on your work surface and lay out 6 wrappers, and place around 1 1 1/2 t's in the center of each wrapper.

Moisten edges, bring up corners and pinch together, along with sides-you dont want filling to float away. (I folded these then went around the edges with a fork)

Place all 6 in the hot oil and repeat process.

By the time you have the next set of 6 ready to crimp it should be time to turn the wontons.

You want them a nice golden color.

When done remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

TIPS FOR 1ST TIMERS:

1) Make sure you squeeze out all the air before placing in the frying pan. If you don't an opening will happen causing the mix to leak out and lots of popping oil =)

2) Use peanut oil for maximum results =)

If you just want a cream cheese wonton, just do the green onion, sour cream and cream cheese, mix together and omit all other ingredients =) Follow cooking instructions.
