Chinese Crab Puffs Recipe
~Submitted by Diane R.~
6oz. crab meat
6oz. cream cheese, softened
1/2t. salt
1/4t. garlic powder
40 wonton wrappers (I sometimes hear them referred to as skins)
1 egg, slightly beaten
vegetable oil
Combine the crab, cream cheese, salt, and garlic powder in a medium bowl,
stir until well mixed together. In a separate small bowl slightly beat the
egg. Lay out 1 wonton wrapper and place a spoonful of the crab mixture in
the center of the wrapper. Fold over the edge and crimp the seam together,
just like you would when you make turnovers. Brush the seam with the beaten
egg. Heat about 1-1/2 inches of oil in a skillet, or pan on medium to
medium high heat. Fry 4-5 wontons at a time until golden brown, about 2
minutes. Drain on paper towels. Oh, one tip, if you aren't working with
the wonton wrappers, keep them covered with a moist cloth so they don't dry
out.
