Crispy Crab Rangoon




We called these crab angels growing up, but they're the crab and cream cheese things you find at Chinese restaurants. And they're so easy to make yourself.

Ingredients
1 pkg. (3 oz) cream cheese, softened
2 green onions, finely chopped
¼ cup finely chopped imitation crab meat
1 tsp minced garlic
16 square wonton wrappers
Oil for frying

In a small mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add the onions, crab and garlic; mix well. Place about 1½ tsp in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten edges with water; fold opposite corners over filling and press to seal.In an electric skillet, heat 1 in. of oil to 375F. Fry wontons for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towel. Serve with sweet and sour sauce, or sauce of your choice.
