How to Make Crab And Cream Cheese Wontons Sweet

  1. Finely chop 1/2 cup cooked crab meat and 1/4 cup small white onion.
  2. Soak the chopped onion in cold water for 5 minutes to remove excess sharpness.
  3. In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix 8 ounces cream cheese with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  4. Gently fold in the chopped crab meat, mixing until well combined.
  5. Drain the onion and add it to the crab mixture. Mix gently.
  6. Using a butter knife or small spoon, place a teaspoon of the filling into the center of each wonton wrapper.
  7. Fold the wonton wrapper in half to form a triangle, then bring the two bottom corners together to form a 'X' shape and pinch to seal.
  8. Deep-fry the wontons in 375°F (190°C) oil for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Watch carefully – they cook quickly!
  9. Remove the wontons from the oil and immediately place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Note: They continue to cook slightly after removal from the oil.
  10. Serve immediately. Enjoy the sweet and savory perfection!
  11. Adjust cooking time based on your fryer and desired crispness. Overcooking will burn the wrappers.
