Ingredients
1/2 cup reduced-fat cream cheese
1/2 cup nonfat cottage cheese
1/4 cup shredded crabmeat or crabmeat substitute
24 wonton wrappers (see note)
1 egg white, lightly beaten
Nonstick cooking spray
Mix together
the cream cheese and cottage cheese in a small bowl. Stir
in crabmeat.
To assemble
the wontons, set 1 scant tablespoon of filling in the center
of each wonton wrapper. Brush edges of wrapper with egg
white. Fold wrapper in half, making a triangular shape,
and press along the edges, sealing dough. Set wontons on
lightly floured nonstick cookie sheet until they are all
assembled. Cover with plastic wrap to prevent drying.
Lightly coat
a serving platter with cooking spray. Set aside, keeping
warm.
Fill a medium
saucepan half full of water. Bring to the boil. Slide half
the wontons into water. Cook 1-1/2 to 2 minutes or until
wontons are tender. Remove wontons with a slotted spoon
an place on platter, keeping warm. Repeat until all the
wontons are cooked.
NOTE:
Traditional wonton wrappes are dough squares about 3-1/2
by 3-1/2 inches. Rounmd pot stickers are called gyoza. You
might also find in the refrigerated section packages of
wonton skins or egg roll wrappers in different sizes. All
of these packaged doughs can be used to make pot stickers
and wontons. Use a sharp knife or cookie cutter to cut the
dough to the size or shape you desire.
