2 green onions, chopped
1/2 tsp. soy sauce, lite
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/3 c. seafood shreds (imitation crab meat)
Pkg. won ton wrappers, sm. squares
Blend together ingredients. Drop approximately 1 teaspoonful on each of the small size wrappers. Fold in corners and seal with egg white. Fry in hot oil until crispy and brown. Serve with Sweet & Sour Sauce. I at least double this for one pkg of round wonton wrapers. Beware you will sit down and eat everyone of these. They are that good.
