A few years ago, some of our friends had a cook-off party where everyone had to prepare and bring their best dish. It was this dish that won first place that evening! Follow the recipe below and I’ m sure this will be the winner in your household, too!
Ingredients:
- 4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 4 pcs imitation crab, chopped finely
- 2 tbsp olive oil

- 2 tbsp chestnut, minced
- 1 tbsp crumbled bacon (optional)
- 1/2 tsp salt

Directions:
- In a saute pan, heat the olive oil. Saute the garlic and onion until soft.

- Place one piece of wonton wrapper on a flat surface and add about a teaspoon of the filling.
- Fold the wrapper by lifting the left side and right side and glue it with water. Lift the upper and lower bottom and attached it to the two sides. Press it to make sure no air is trap inside (refer to the picture below).
