Try this!.!.!.!. Fairly easy to make!.!. And since the theme is China Town, this may fit in!.!.!.
Filling:
8 ounces cream cheese
8 ounces fresh crab meat or canned crab meat, drained and flaked (can be substituted with prawns)
1/2 teaspoon oyster sauce
1/2 teaspoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper, to taste
1 - 1 1/2 green onions, finely sliced
1 large clove garlic, finely minced
1 teaspoon red onion, chopped
1 package wonton wrappers
1 small bowl filled with water for wetting wontons
Oil for deep-frying
Directions:
Combine the crab and the cream cheese!. Mix in the remaining filling ingredients one at a time!.
On a flat surface, lay out a wonton wrapper in front of you so that it forms a diamond shape!. Wet the edges of the wonton!.
Add a heaping teaspoon of filling to the middle, and spread it out toward the left and right points of the diamond so that it forms a log or rectangular shape (otherwise the wrapper may break in the middle during deep-frying)!.
Fold over the edges of the wrapper so that it forms a triangle shape!. Seal the edges, adding more water if needed!.
Cover the completed shape with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out while preparing the rest!.
Heat wok and add oil for deep-frying!. When oil is ready (the temperature should be between 360 - 375 degrees), carefully slide in the shape, taking care not to overcrowd the wok!. Deep-fry until they are golden brown, about 3 minutes, turning once!. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels!. Cool and serve!.
(You may even add in diced potatoes and carrots if you like)
(To make ahead: The filling can be prepared up to a day ahead of time and stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator, or the wontons can be filled and refrigerated up to one day ahead of time before cooking!. The wontons can also be prepared up to the deep-frying stage and frozen for up to 3 months!. Cook the frozen wonton according to the instructions above, adding a few minutes to the cooking time)!.
P!.S!.: Don't forget chopsticks!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Use your take out boxes as favor holders for your guests!. Fill them with candies, gift cards, trinkets, jewelry, and bath gels, or whatever your friends would love!. For food, call up your favorite Chinese restaurant and order takeout!. For snacks, load up on fortune cookies, sorbet with a variety of syrups, baggies of M&M's, roasted peanuts and dried fruit, mini cupcakes, etc!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Make your own fortune cookies! They are really easy to make (they don't take a lot of time) and you can personalize them any way you want with your own fortunes and advice!.
