Cream Cheese Wonton's

Cream Cheese Wonton's
Filling:
Cream cheese
2 cloves garlic grated or finely minced
fresh snipped green chives for color
lump crab meat (if you like and aren't allergic)

Egg roll or wonton wrappers
These are actually the same thing the difference is size grab what ever your local store has (they are located in the produce section)
1 egg and 1/4 cup water for egg wash
frying oil (your preference olive, peanut, etc)
If you have egg roll wrappers cut them into 4 equal pieces. Add a dollop of the cream cheese mixture to each square. Brush sides of each square with the egg wash mixture.
Pinch up the sides and set onto a drying rack while the oil comes up to temp. (Side tip: use the smallest sauce pan you have for frying. The smaller the pan, the less oil is needed)
Fry the wonton's one at a time (or as the pan allows - do not over crowd the pan it will bring down the temp of the oil). Remove from oil when the wonton has puffed up and is golden brown. This is very quick so don't walk away from the pan. About 30sec each! Remove onto a paper towel or rack to allow any excess oil to come off.
Serve warm :-)

Mmmmm.... Do you use any sauce with this? I know somme restaurants do and some don't.

I don't because I like them as is...but I have had a sweet and sour sauce before that others used.
