Each region of China�Beijing, Sichuan, Hubei, Guangdong (Cantonese), and more�has its own favorite varieties of wonton. The meaning of the word wonton varies by region also: in Mandarin the name means �slowly boiled dumpling,� but in Cantonese it means �swallowing clouds.� Wonton are sometimes steamed or boiled and served in soup, with or without noodles, and sometimes fried and served with dipping sauces on the side. The fried wonton style in this recipe may be familiar to North Americans from the days when most local Chinese restaurants served Cantonese-style cuisine. You can try a variety of dipping sauces.
1. Combine cabbage, salt, shrimp and crab meat, onions, ginger pur?e, soy sauce, one teaspoon sesame
oil or peanut oil and cream cheese in a bowl and mix well.
Separate wonton wrappers and arrange on a dry surfcace.
2. Place a teaspoon of the shrimp-crab mix in the center of each wrapper. Wet the edges of the wrappers and
bring opposite corners together, forming a triangle. Bring the two remaining corners together toward the
center and seal them with a pinch.
3. Preheat the two to three cups of vegetable or peanut oil and fry the wonton in the oil over medium heat for
about 5-7 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
4. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce; you can purchase at your usual store or Asian market or
make something. Suggestions include duck sauce, sweet and sour sauce and spicy Chinese mustard.
