Filling and Wontons

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, crab meat, chopped green onions, and garlic powder. Mix well until all ingredients are well incorporated.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Wontons

    Place a teaspoon of the filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, fold the wrapper over to create a triangle, and seal the edges by pressing firmly.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Wontons

    Carefully add the filled wontons to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the crispy crab cheese wontons hot with plum sauce on the side for dipping.
