Ingredients
•
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
•
1 pound crabmeat, shredded
•
3 tablespoons dark soy sauce
•
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
•
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro
•
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
•
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
•
1 (14 ounce) package small won ton wrappers

Directions
1
Mix cream cheese, crabmeat, soy sauce, ginger, cilantro, parsley, and garlic together in a bowl.
2
Heat oil in a large heavy skillet or deep fryer to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C).
3
While the oil is heating, place 1/2 to 1 teaspoon cream cheese mixture into the center of a wonton wrapper. Moisten the wrapper edges and pull two corners together over filling to make a triangle. Pull two remaining corners up to join them, then press firmly to seal. Repeat to make remaining wontons. Place prepared wontons under a slightly moist paper towel until oil is hot.

Working in batches, fry 3 or 4 wontons at a time in hot oil until golden brown and crispy, 1 to 2 minutes, flipping halfway through. Transfer wontons to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve hot.
