Filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened Make sure the cream cheese is very soft for easy mixing.
  • 6 oz imitation crab meat, chopped Real crab meat can be used for a more authentic taste.

  2. Place a small dollop of filling in the center of a wonton wrapper.
  3. Moisten the edges with a wet finger and pull the corners up to meet.
  4. Pinch the seams tightly to close the wonton.

Notes

Serve hot and crispy straight from the fryer with dipping sauces. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
