| Ingredients: |
8 oz cream cheese
1/8 tsp. white pepper

| Cooking
Instructions: |
Combine cream cheese with the pepper, garlic, ginger and lemon, stirring well with a fork. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired, lemon zest may also be added. Gently fold in onions and crab or lobster.
Brush the edges of 6 wontons with water. Place 1/2 tsp filling into each wonton, pressing out air and sealing edges well to form a triangle. Stack on a plate dusting with cornstarch to avoid sticking, store in refrigerator until time to fry.
Deep fry in hot oil until golden brown, serve immediately. Optional dips: sweet and sour sauce, ginger teriyaki, Chinese mustard, Chinese hot oil.
Variation: To make Crab Puffs, prepare filling as above, placing a small amount into squares of puff pastry. Moisten pastry edges, fold the four corners up, pinching them together and sealing the edges well -- do not overfill! Can also be folded into triangles as above. Seal edges well, the pastry puffs and the filling wants to ooze out! |
