Crab Rangoons

Original Recipe: http://blogchef.net/how-to-cook-chinese-food/

Ingredients:

• 12 ounces of cream cheese (at room temperature)
• 50 wan ton wrappers
• 1 cup imitation crab meat (or canned)
• 2 green onions (minced)
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 egg (beaten)
• oil (for frying)

 

Directions:

1. In a bowl cream the cream cheese, soy sauce, green onions and garlic powder. Stir in the crab meat (if using imitation crab it should be chopped into pieces).
2. In a separate bowl beat 1 egg. Lay out a wanton wrapper so it forms a diamond shape and place 1 teaspoon of filling just below the center of each wrapper.
3. Brush the opposite corners of the wanton wrapper with the egg mixture. Fold over the edges of the wrapper to form a triangle and seal tightly.
4. Deep fry the rangoons in batches at 375 degrees for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
