** Servings: ** 24-25

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 40 minutes

Description: Crispy wontons filled with a creamy crab meat and cream cheese mixture, baked or fried to golden perfection.

Ingredients:

8 oz cream cheese, softened
3 oz fancy crab meat (drained and crumbled)
2 green onions, finely chopped
1.5 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1 package Wonton wrappers (12 oz)
1 egg, whisked with a splash of water
Canola oil for frying (optional)

Instructions:

Combine filling ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and sugar until well combined.
Prepare wonton wrappers: Place wonton wrappers aside and whisk the egg with a splash of water to create an egg wash.
Assemble wontons: Place 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each wonton. Moisten the edges with the egg wash, fold in a triangle, and press to seal, removing air from the inside.
Fold and seal: Take the left and right sides of the triangle and pull them up, attaching them to the existing seal on the top. Press along the edges to close any areas where the filling could be exposed to air.
Bake or fry: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the wontons on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Alternatively, heat about 1 quart of canola oil in a deep frying pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the wontons in batches until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
Serve: Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or plum sauce.

Tips:

Use high-quality crab meat for the best flavor.
Don’t overfill the wontons, as this can cause them to burst open during cooking.
If frying, be careful not to overcrowd the pan, as this can lower the oil temperature and affect the texture of the wontons.
You can make these ahead of time and refrigerate or freeze them until ready to bake or fry.

The Halau propagates traditional Japanese Usui Teate Reiki in addition to American Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki knowledge and training. Most Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki schools allow Level 3 Reiki Masters to attune new students. Unlike these schools, The Halau allows only our Usui Teate Grandmasters to propagate basic Reiki technique to beginners. Grandmasters are the only instructors with enough training and knowledge to attune new students. They are trained to perform both live (in-person) as well as astral (long-distance) attunements. We do not simply gather students as income: our training is for serious Reiki inquiries only.
