Ingredients

• 12 ounces of cream cheese (at room temperature)
• 50 wan ton wrappers
• 1 cup imitation crab meat (or canned)
• 2 green onions (minced)
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 egg (beaten)
• oil (for frying)

Preparation

Step 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).
Step 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.
Step 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.

Step 4: Deep fry in batches at 375 degrees for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
