Christmas Cheer


List of Ingredients

1 pound cream cheese
2 scallions, sliced fine
1 Tablespoons ginger, grated fine
8 ounces lobster meat, cooked (fresh or frozen),
sliced
24 Wonton wrappers
oil for pan frying



Recipe

In a medium sized bowl cream together cream cheese
with the
sliced scallions and grated ginger. Blend in the
sliced
Maine lobster meat.

Position a wonton wrapper with 1 point toward you.
Spoon a
generous teaspoon of filling in the center of the
wonton.
Moisten the sides of the wonton wrapper lightly with
water
and fold the wrapper in half to make a triangle,
pressing
down on the sides to seal the moist edges. Make an
additional fold on the two long points of the triangle
up
for a crown-like appearance. Repeat with remaining
filling
and wrappers.

Fry wontons in hot 375¢ªF oil in deep fry or shallow
pan
fry, a few at a time, turning once, about 30 seconds
each
side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towel and
serve
immediately or keep warm and crisp in warm 200¢ªF
oven.

Traditionally eaten plain, or with duck sauce.
