Time 30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (14 ounce) package small won ton wrappers
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
½ teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro
½ teaspoon dried parsley
3 tablespoons dark soy sauce
1 pound crabmeat, shredded
1 quart oil for frying

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large heavy skillet or deep fryer to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C).
  • In a small bowl, mix together cream cheese, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, parsley, cilantro and crabmeat.
  • Place 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each wonton wrapper. Fold the won ton wrapper over the stuffing to make a triangle or a half moon, depending on the shape of the won ton wrappers you have purchased. Moisten the edges with a little water, and seal. Place prepared won tons under a slightly moist paper towel until ready for frying.
  • Add 3 or 4 wontons to the hot oil, and cook until golden brown, turning once. Set aside on paper towels to drain. Repeat until all wontons have been fried. Serve hot.
