These tasty appetizers can be made the day before and fried just before serving time. A Taste of Thai Red Curry Paste adds real pizazz to this yummy finger food.
Ingredients
- 3 cups oil (for frying) plus 1 tablespoon
- 1/4 cup minced scallions
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Red Curry Paste
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Fish Sauce
- 1/2-8 oz (4 oz) package Neufchรยขtel cream cheese, softened
- 2-6 oz cans crabmeat, drained
- 1 tablespoon minced cilantro
- 1-12 oz package wonton wraps (3 1/4รขโฌย X 3 1/4รขโฌย)
- 1-7 oz bottle of Sweet Chili Sauce
- Optional: 44 pieces of chive
Directions
- Add 1 tablespoon of oil, scallions and garlic to a small skillet. Cook until just softened.
- Remove skillet from heat and add Red Curry Paste, lime juice and Fish Sauce. Mix until curry dissolves. Add curry mixture to a bowl. Add cream cheese, crabmeat and cilantro. Mix until combined.
- Place 4-6 wonton wraps on a clean, dry surface. Lightly brush all edges with water.
- Place 1 rounded (measuring) teaspoon of crab mixture in center of each wonton. Gather points together (bringing all sides together) and pinch in middle, so won ton looks like a drawstring purse.
- Heat 3 cups oil in a medium sauce pan and heat to 375°F. Oil is ready when a corner of wonton wrap sizzles when placed in oil. Fry 4-6 purses at a time, turning if needed, to make sure all sides are evenly browned. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve purses with a dish of Sweet Chili Sauce for dipping. For a festive touch, make a knot with a chive and loop it over pinched area of the purse and pull tight.
