Ingredients
| 24 | wonton skins |
| Vegetable oil | |
| dipping sauce of your choice | |
| For the filling: | |
|---|---|
| 300g (10 ½ oz) | crab sticks, finely chopped |
| 75g (2 ½ oz) | onion, finely diced |
| 75g (2 ½ oz) | carrot, peeled and finely diced |
| 75g (2 ½ oz) | spring onions (scallions), finely diced |
| Pinch of | salt |
| 180–200g (6–7oz) | cream cheese |
Method
Place all the filling ingredients in a large bowl and mix very well.
Separate the wonton skins, then take one skin and place roughly half a tablespoon of filling in the middle. Pinch in the four sides so they meet in the middle, creating a star-like shape. Repeat with the remaining wonton skins and filling.
In a wok or deep saucepan, heat 7.5–10cm (3–4in) of oil to around 180°C (350°F), then add the wontons in batches and fry until golden brown and cooked all the way through. This will take around 4 minutes per batch. Remove the cooked wontons and allow to drain and cool slightly before serving.
Serve with your favourite dipping sauce and enjoy.
