Cream cheese wontons are a Chínese appetízer. They go great wíth any Chínese dísh. Cream cheese wontons are commonly found at Chínese restaurants all over. They consíst of wonton wrappers fílled wíth cream cheese, crab, green oníons, and seasoníngs. For the best results you wíll want to fry these ín the deep fryer but they could be fríed ín a pan as well. If you want to fry ín a pan, just add about an ínch of oíl. I líke to seal the wontons wíth beaten egg. Thís keeps them from breakíng open ín the deep fryer. You wíll want to make sure they are well sealed. These are best served wíth sweet and sour sauce.

Makes 10 Servíngs

Ingredíents:

12 ounce cream cheese (at room temperature)

50 wonton wrappers

1 cup ímítatíon crab (chopped)
