Chinese Recipe : Crab Rangoon

Ingredients:

• 1/2 lb. cooked crab meat or smoked salmon, lightly flaked
• 1 tsp. scallion, finely-minced
• 1/4 lb. cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1/2 tsp. steak sauce
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder, or 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 lb. won ton wrappers
• 1 beaten egg, or 2 egg whites
• 3 c. vegetable oil

Directions:

1. Combine crab meat or smoked salmon, scallion, cream cheese, steak
   sauce, and garlic.
2. Place 1/2 tsp. of mixture in center or wonton wrapper. Fold square over to form triangle. Lightly brush the center with the beaten egg. Bring opposite corners together, and press gently so filling will be secure.
3. Place oil in wok, and heat to 375°F for deep-frying. Deep-fry one crab or salmon puff, and adjust heat downwards if necessary.
4. Fry rest of puffs until delicately brown, less than 2 mins. Serve hot.
