Crab Rangoon

4 oz Crab Meat, drained & chopped (1can)
¼ tsp Garlic Powder
4oz Cream Cheese, softened
30 Wonton or Egg Roll Wrappers
½ tsp A-1 Sauce
1 Egg yolk, well beaten

Combine crab meat with cream cheese and seasonings in a medium bowl and blend to a paste. Place heaping teaspoon on each wonton. Moisten edges of wontons with egg yolk (or water). Gather the four corners of the wontons together at the top and pinch the edges together to seal. Heat oil to 375*. Add wontons in batches and fry until golden brown; about 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with Chinese mustard, red sauce or Sweet & Sour sauce.

Vegetable & Seafood Wontons 25 minutes @ 350

1 env. Lipton Recipe Secrets Vegetable Soup Mix
1/8 t Pepper
15 oz Ricotta Cheese
40 Wonton Wrappers, refrigerated or thawed frozen, from produce section
1/2 lb. Imitation Crabmeat, chopped
1 T Olive or Vegetable Oil
1/4 t Garlic Powder

In medium bowl, combine vegetable soup mix, ricotta cheese, crabmeat, garlic powder and pepper. Place 1 tablespoon ricotta mixture on center of each wonton. Brush edges with water; fold corners into centers. Press to seal. To dress them up, you can tie an edible leaf, like green onion, around the ‘package’ like a ribbon. Place on lightly greased cookie sheet; brush with oil. Bake 25 minutes or until crisp and golden brown, turning once.
VARIATION: Use 1 1/2 cups chopped cooked shrimp in place of crabmeat.
Cover filled wontons with damp cloth until ready to bake, then brush with oil. These take about an hour to wrap, but are a big hit!
