It's found all over the world, is crispy deep fried, and - in better restaurants - has more than a hint of crab flavor. Here’s a recipe we like.

In a bowl, combine crab, cream cheese, soy sauce, and sautéed vegetable mixture. Place about 3/4 teaspoon into the center of a won ton wrapper. Wet the edges of the wrapper, fold wrapper to make a triangle, and press to seal closed. In a wok or large pan, over medium high heat about 3 inches of vegetable oil. Fry 3 to 4 crab wontons at a time until crisp and lightly brown on both sides.
