Weight Watchers Lobster Rangoon recipe
Makes 30 servings

Ingredients
8 ounces lobsters, finely chopped
30 wonton wrappers
2 (8ounce) packages cream cheese
1 bunch green onions, finely chopped (use all but the white part)
1 egg, mixed with 2 tablespoons water
canola oil (to deep fry wontons)
2 tablespoons garlic juice (you can use the juice from a jar of chopped garlic in juice)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Chinese duck sauce or plum sauce (for dipping)

Preparation
1. Put the cream cheese in a glass dish and microwave for 45 seconds.
2. Finely chop the green onions finely, and add to cream cheese.
3. Add the lemon and garlic juice; mix well.
4. Finely chop the lobster (or use the blender). Add to the cream cheese mixture, and mix in well.
5. Put 30 wonton wrappers onto a large flat baking pan.
6. Place a teaspoonful of the mixture into the center of each wonton wrapper.
7. Mix together the egg and 2 tablespoons of water. With 2 fingers, dip into the egg wash, then rub around the edge of each wonton.
8. Taking the bottom right tip of the wonton, bring it up to meet the top left tip, and press around the edges to make a seal (so the cream cheese mixture doesn’t come out when deep frying).
9. When all the 30 wontons are done, put them in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
10. When ready to deep fry, heat the canola oil to 350 degrees F.
11. Turn on the oven to 200 degrees F.
12. Drop 6 wontons in at a time, and fry on one side, then flip and fry on the other. Place on a layer of 4 paper towels to absorb the grease, then place in an oven proof dish, and put in the oven to keep warm while the next batch is cooking.
13. Serve with duck or plum sauce for dipping.
