Crawfish Rangoon
Prep Time15 Minutes

Cook Time30 Minutes
Ingredients
8 oz cream cheese, softened
4 oz cooked crawfish tail meat, finely chopped
2 Tbs fresh chives, finely chopped
1 large egg
1 Tbs water
36 wonton wrappers
vegetable oil, for frying
sweet Thai chile sauce, for serving
Directions
- In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, crawfish and chives. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Working in small batches, place wonton wrappers on a work surface. Brush the egg mixture on all four edges of wrappers. Spoon a rounded teaspoon of crawfish mixture into the center of each wonton. Lift and press two opposing corners together over the filling.
- Lift and press the remaining two corners. Bring them to the middle to form a pouch. Press the seams together. Fold over the top where all four corners meet. Place on a baking sheet lined with damp paper towels, and cover with damp paper towels.
- Heat oil to 375° F in a Dutch oven. Carefully add several filled wontons to the oil, but do not crowd them. Fry until crisp and golden-brown, about 3 minutes. Continue with the remaining wontons. Transfer to a baking sheet. Place in a warm oven (200° F) until ready serve. Serve with sweet Thai chile sauce.
