Crab Rangoon

This is a super easy appetizer prepare. It takes about 3o minutes to and can be done in advance. The wontons can be frozen and then fried.

Ingredients
1 package won ton wrappers
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
12 oz of imitation crabmeat (use the real stuff if you want)
1or 2 Green onions
Black pepper to taste
Oil for frying

Directions

1. In a bowl, mix together cream cheese, crab meat, chopped green onions, and a few shakes of black pepper.

1. 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.

1. Heat oil in a large heavy skillet or deep fryer to 375 degrees F (Medium).

1. 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.

This is how it’s done.
