Recipe courtesy of Simple and Delicious magazine (special Appetizers issue)
1 package (3 oz) cream cheese, softened
2 green onions, finely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped imitation crabmeat
1 teaspoon minced garlic
16 wonton wrappers (usually found in produce department near the sprouts and herbs)
oil for frying
sweet-and-sour sauce (I took advantage of all our leftover duck sauce from take-out and used that)
In a small bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add the onions, crab and garlic.
Place about 1-1/2 teaspoons in the center of a wonton wrapper. (Keep remaining wrappers covered with a damp paper towel until ready to use.) Moisten edges with water; fold opposite corners over filling (making sealed triangle) and press to seal. Repeat.
In a skillet, heat 1 inch of oil to 375. Fry wontons for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels. Serve with sweet-and-sour sauce for dipping.
