ingredients

  • 4 cups oil (for deep frying, or you can use non-stick, zero-calorie cooking spray to save on fat and calories)
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (12 ounce) package imitation crabmeat
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

directions

  • In a medium bowl mix cream cheese, imitation crabmeat, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, Worcestershire sauce and green onions.
  • Place about a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper.
  • Put egg whites in a bowl.
  • Use your fingers or a brush to apply the egg whites over two edges of the wonton wrappers.
  • Fold into triangles and press to seal edges.
  • In small batches, deep fry the won tons until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
  • (Note: to make this healthier I brush the whole wonton with egg white after it's sealed and then I just sauté it with no-calorie nonstick cooking spray).

  1. these were a hit with me and BF! some preperation involved, but not overwhelming. and it tasted like authentic crab rangoon. i made a half batch because there were just the 2 of us...there were only a 3-4 left. these were really great!
     
  2. These were great. I had to half the amount of worchestershire sauce and sesame oil for my family's taste, but I made a double batch and there were only 3 left.
     
  3. The worcestershir sauce and soy sauce gave this recipe a taste that was a little too strong for me. The mix was alot. I recomend cutting it in half. Other than that they were great. Different but edible.
     
  4. First of all how is this five stars?!? I just made this and there are so many things wrong with this recipe. 1) 3 tbsp is way too much Worcestershire sauce. I used 1 tbsp for a double batch and it still came through strong. 2) soy sauce is also too much. I can only imagine how bad these would be with both the recommended soy sauce and Worcestershire. 3) 1 tsp of filling per won ton wrapper, and this will make 75-80 won tons, Way more than a package of won ton wrappers. I used 2 tsp and was the appropriate amount of filling. Now while I did somehow make a decent won ton for the first time referencing this recipe for ingredients, I will give it 2 stars, but you will be severely disappointed if you use the prescribed quantities.
     
  5. Wow I just mixed up the the insides, the Worcestershire is a lot but I love it so I only put in two tablespoons because that is all I had and wished I would have tasted it after only one Tablespoon. After tasting it thought HOLY COW! this is getting another 8oz of cream cheese this calmed it down some but I am thinking that perhaps the 3Tablespoons are indeed suppose to be 3tespoons. I love all the garlic and onion. In about three hours I will fry them up and get back to you.
