Asian Crab Salad Crisps
Lump crabmeat's delicate flavor provides a nice balance to crispy wonton chips.
Ingredients
- 2 tsp (10 mL) canola oil, divided
- 12 square wonton wrappers
- 1 lime
- 1/4 cup (50 mL) mayonnaise
- 4 tsp (20 mL) Asian Seasoning Mix
- 1 garlic clove, pressed
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
- 2-3 green onions (1/4 cup/50 mL thinly sliced)
- 1 4 in. (10 cm) piece seedless cucumber
- 1 can (6 oz/175 g) lump crabmeat, drained
- Additional sliced green onions, chopped peanuts and diced red bell pepper (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Using Chef's Silicone Basting Brush, brush Large Round Stone with Handles with 1 tsp (5 mL) of the oil; set aside. Place wonton wrappers on Large Grooved Cutting Board; brush with remaining oil. Using Pizza Cutter, slice each wonton diagonally in half, creating two triangles. Spacing closely together, place wontons on baking stone, ruffling two corners to create a shallow well in center of each wonton. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove wontons from baking stone to Stackable Cooling Rack.
Meanwhile, using Citrus Press, juice lime to measure 1 tbsp (15 mL) juice. In Classic Batter Bowl, combine juice, mayonnaise, seasoning mix, garlic pressed with Garlic Press and salt; stir with Classic Scraper. Thinly slice onions and dice cucumber with Santoku Knife. Add onions and cucumber to batter bowl; stir until combined. Place crabmeat into (5-in./13-cm) Strainer; press to remove excess liquid. Add crabmeat; stir to coat.
Using Small Scoop, scoop crabmeat mixture into well of each wonton. Garnish with green onions, peanuts and bell pepper, if desired. Serve immediately.
