Creamy Crab Wontons
8 oz package cream cheese, softened
1/4 c. dry bread crumbs
1/2 t. garlic powder
2 Cup chopped imitation crab (I try to use real!)
30 refrigerated wonton wrappers (1/2 lb.)
Lemon Dipping Sauce
Juice of 1 lemon, strained
5 T. firmly packed light brown sugar
1 slice un peeled ginger root
1 c. water
1+1/2 T. cornstarch
Sesame Oil
Wontons
Preheat oven to 350. In a medium sized bowl, combine
the cream cheese, bread crumbs and garlic powder; mix
well with an electric beater. Add the crab meat,
stirring until thoroughly mixed. Place 1 teaspoon of the
crab mixture in the center of each wonton. Brush the
edges lightly with water, then fold in half (one point
to an opposite point, like a turnover) over the crab
mixture, and press to seal. Place on a cookie sheet that
has been coated with non-stick spray. Bake for 20 to 25
minutes, until crisp and golden brown, turning once
halfway through the baking.
Dipping Sauce
Combine lemon juice, sugar, ginger root and water in
a small saucepan. Remove 1/3 of the combined mixture and
add cornstarch, stirring until dissolved. Heat the lemon
mixture over medium heat to boiling, stirring
occasionally. Stir up the cornstarch mixture and pour
in, stir until sauce is thickened. Remove from heat,
remove ginger slice and check sweetness.
Add more sugar if desired and add a few drops of sesame
oil and stir in.
