Krystal's Crab Rangoonies

Ingredients:

1 clove of garlic, minced
1 1/2 (8oz) packages of cream cheese 
1 (6-8oz) package of imitation crab meat
2 thinly sliced green onions (or chives)
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp light soy sauce (regular is also fine)
48-50 wonton wrappers
Sugar (to taste - about 1 tbsp)
Small bowl of water for dipping finger (for wonton wrapper closer)

Instructions:

Thaw cream cheese in microwave (low heat) until cream cheese is liquidy. Combine, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic, green onions, and sugar (to taste -- may add more or less if so desired). Mix until well combined. Add imitation crab. Once well mixed, spread out a few wonton wrappers. Dipping finger in water, run along all for edges of wonton wrapper until all edges are wet. Using a small spoon, get no more than a tbsp of mix and place in the middle of wrapper. Take one corner and folder over to meet opposite corner. Smooth all sides to make a triangle (like pictured). You will repeat these steps until you have no more mixture left. If you do not desire to eat all 50 wontons, you may freeze the rest for up to 3 months. I separate them into groups of 5-6 in sandwich bags and then put all sandwiches bags into a bigger gallon bag and mark the 3-month date on the bag so I know when they need to be eaten by. For those you desire to cook, you will heat oil (vegetable, canola, peanut...) in a skillet to deep fryer (I have a deep fryer at home). One oil is heated, cook until edges are a golden/darker brown. Let cool and enjoy. :)
