FRIED CRAB WONTONS

Category: Deep Fried

1 (6.5-oz) can crabmeat, drained
1 (3-oz.) pkg. cream cheese, room temperature
1 tsp steak sauce (any brand)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
24 wonton wrappers
Vegetable oil for frying

Drain liquid from crabmeat and pick over to remove any membrane or shell. In a medium bowl, mix crabmeat, cream cheese, steak sauce, and garlic powder until well blended. Place 1-1/2 tsp of crab mixture in the center of a wonton wrapper.

Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water; fold in half diagonally and press edges to seal. Repeat with remaining filling and wonton wrappers. Heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

When oil has heated to 375 (190C), carefully add the wontons, in batches, and fry until lightly browned (approximately 1 to 2 minutes on each side). Remove from oil to a paper towel-lined platter to drain before serving. Serve with duck sauce. Yields 6 servings (4 per serving).
