Bergy Dim Sum #3, Baked Wonton Crab Bits

"These are tasty tid bits to serve with cocktails or just as an appetizer. I usually make them every Christmas and freeze them to have on hand for company. This is not my original recipe and I can't remember where I got it but I'm glad I did find it!I like to use Spring Roll wrap instead of Won ton wrap it has a lighter texture. Serve with a nice peppy sauce like Sweet Thai chili sauce"

directions

  • Combine all the ingredients (except Wonton Wraps).
  • Place a small amount of filling in the centre of each wrap (about a tsp).
  • Fold one corner of each square across to the opposite corner, making a triangle.
  • Use a little water on the end of your finger to seal.
  • Bring the two side points of the triangle up together to meet in front leaving the third tip in place.
  • Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake in 425 degree oven (220C degrees) for about 20 min or until they are puffed and golden.
  • The Crab bits may now be frozen and stored until you want to use them and then just heat them in a 350 degree oven for about 10 min and serve.
  • You may also freeze them before you bake them (this is what I like to do) thaw unbaked wontons before baking.
  • Bake in 400 degree oven for about 20 min utes.

  1. Made these for the 4th of July, sadly they were not a hit. We found the ginger to be very dominant and couldn't really taste the crab. I used Thai chili sauce - the ginger even dominated that, otherwise made as written.
     
  2. These were just okay for me. I was really excited to make them as it sounded so great. But i did not find the flavour as outstanding as i had hoped. You really need a good sauce to go with these as they are not much when eaten by themselves.
     
  3. These were terrific! I used my food processor to grind my (fake, sorry) crabmeat and the texture came out very well for these. Loved the flavoring, too; however, since I was out of turmeric, I used some hot curry powder in place of it. I just loved the slight south-asian kick to these! And they were great in the oven. We ate them with some sweet and sour sauce and some spicy/sweet soy sauce. I froze well over half the batch. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!

On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine. I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help. My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods. I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England! In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
