Ingredients
  

  • 20 Wonton Wrappers
  • 2 cups vegetable oil or any neutral oil
  • ¾ cup canned crab meat, drained or imitation crab meat chopped into 1-inch long pieces
  • ½ cup spreadable vegetable cream cheese substitute soften creamed cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons green onion finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon regular soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon white granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, with a fork or small spatula, combine the crab meat and cream cheese. Mix to combine. Add in green onions, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, sugar, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • Prepare a small bowl of ice-cold water. On a clean work surface, lay one wonton flat and add 2 teaspoons of the filling into the center of the wonton wrapper. Be careful not to overfill. Dip your finger in the cold water and run it along the edges of the wonton wrapper.
  • Pinch two opposite corners of the wrapper together. Then seal the remaining corners with the pinched ones. Press the edges firmly to make sure they are sealed tight to prevent leaking. Especially the tip of the wonton. Give it an extra squeeze. Repeat this process until there is no more filling left.
  • Heat oil in a large heavy pan on medium heat. Heat to 325°. Use an instant read cooking thermometer for an accurate reading of the heat. Deep-fry the wontons 6–7 pieces at a time until golden and crispy. Cook time is about 1.5–2 minutes in total. Flip halfway through cooking.
  • Remove fried wontons from the oil, gently shaking off any excess oil. Drain on a wired rack or paper towel-lined plate and let them cook down a bit before serving. Serve with sweet-and-sour dipping sauce.
