Ingredients (serves 4):
- 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 lb. crab meat, cooked and shredded
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp. onion powder
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 24 wonton wrappers
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Sweet chili sauce, for dipping
Cooking Tips:
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened before mixing it with the other ingredients.
- Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor.
- Don't overfill the wonton wrappers, or they may burst during frying.
- Fry the wontons in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Cooking Process:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, cilantro, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
2. Lay out the wonton wrappers on a flat surface. Place a small spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each wrapper.
3. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold it in half to form a triangle. Press the edges together to seal.
4. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the wontons to the pan in batches.
5. Fry the wontons for 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the pan with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
6. Serve the wontons hot with sweet chili sauce for dipping.
