Instructions
Instructions
- First, you mix up the filling in a bowl. Cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, garlic powder, and soy sauce get all blended until it looks nice and spreadable.
- Next, lay out a wonton wrapper flat on your clean surface. Take a spoonful of the crab mix and place it in the center.
- Moisten the edge of the wrapper with a dab of water. Fold into a neat triangle, pressing tight so it seals well.
- Fry in batches in hot oil in a deep pan over medium heat, for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve hot, remembering to watch for the valve hiss and slow release that makes the filling perfect.
Notes
Try serving with a squeeze of lemon for a refreshing zing.
