Fried Crab And Cream Cheese Wonton

Fried Crab and Cream Cheese Wontons in the US:

Ingredients:

Wontons (store-bought or homemade)

Crab meat (lump or claw, cooked and shredded)

Cream cheese, softened

Garlic, minced

Onion, chopped

Seasonings (soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, or to taste)

Breadcrumbs or cornstarch

Oil for frying

Preparation:

1. Combine the crab meat, cream cheese, garlic, onion, and seasonings in a bowl. Mix until well combined.

2. Place a wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Add a spoonful of the crab mixture to the center.

3. Fold the wonton wrapper into a triangle or square, ensuring the filling is securely inside.

4. Dip the wontons in breadcrumbs or cornstarch to coat.

5. Heat oil in a deep fryer or pot to 375°F (190°C).

6. Fry the wontons in batches for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.

7. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Serving suggestions:

Serve with dipping sauces, such as sweet chili sauce, soy sauce with Sriracha, or garlic sauce.

For a meal, pair them with a side of steamed broccoli, rice, or an Asian-inspired salad.

Tips:

For extra flavor, marinate the crab meat in soy sauce or garlic before adding it to the filling.

If you're using store-bought wontons, look for wrappers that are labeled as "suitable for frying."

Be careful not to overfill the wontons, as this can make them difficult to seal and fry.

If you don't have a deep fryer, you can also pan-fry the wontons in a little oil.
