How to MAKE ‘Crab cream cheese wontons’

I would like to share a secret of making dinner which lends more ambiance and goes beyond just taste alone I received a call from one of my clients not long ago. She owns a Thai food restaurant, they call ‘Thai Time Bistro’ located in Point Loma, California near San Diego. She invited me to have dinner with her. While there I told her about one of my friends who ask me to give her my recipe for fried ‘chicken with ginger’. “Why do you come to my restaurant to eat? , she asked, “ you can cook some things so much better than me, like your ‘fried ginger chicken’. She was making “Crab Cream Cheese Wontons” s one of the most popular appetizers of Thai food.

Tips & Warnings

• Pinch wontons nice and tight, to keep the cream inside when frying, Egg wash gives wonton a more golden color. cook only a few wontons at a time to keep from burning. There must be a lot of room in the fry pan for them to be moved around, until they toast in the oil.
• Substitute the green onions, if you are allergic.
