Fried Cheese Wontons

Submitted by Heather Sheehan

2- 8 oz. pkgs. softened cream cheese
1/2 c. chopped green onion
1 1/2 tsp. sugar
pinch of salt and pepper to taste
Wonton wraps (look in produce section)
Light cooking oil suitable for high heat (Vegetable, Canola, or Peanut.)
Small bowl of water at work station
(crab meat optional.) Fresh or canned drained and dried well.

Combine all ingredients. Place a small spoonful of filling in center of Wonton square. Pull opposite corners of the wrap together. Dip fingers in water and pinch to close. Repeat with remaining corners. Water acts as a glue. Set on a flat surface that has been lightly sprayed with cooking spray to avoid sticking or tearing. Once all have been filled and wrapped, fry at 350 degrees until lightly golden. Be sure that the oil covers the tops of the wontons while frying or the tops will be chewy. Best served with a sweet and sour dipping sauce. (Do not reheat in the microwave. To maintain crispiness, do so in a warm oven uncovered.)
