• Arrange wonton skins on a work surface. Place 1 teaspoon of crab mixture in center of each, then moisten edges with water. Fold to form a triangle, pressing to seal. Moisten the outer corners of the triangle, seal together to form a "hat," and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Heat oil to 350° in a pan over med.-high.

• Shortly before ready to serve, heat oil to 375 degrees. Drop wantons into hot oil and cook until golden brown. Drain on papertowels, serve hot with Spicy Pineapple Relish.

Steps:

• Mix cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, fish sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, sesame oil, and cayenne pepper together with a fork until ingredients are blended thoroughly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, 1 or 2 hours.
• Keep wonton wrappers moist by covering with a damp paper towel. Place a small bowl of water nearby on the work surface. With a wet fingertip, moisten surface of wonton. Place 1 1/2 teaspoons of crab filling in center of wonton. Fold 2 opposite corners toward each other over the filling but without touching tips together yet. Fold up the other 2 corners. Working gently from the bottom, squeeze out any air bubbles; pinch together the 4 seams from the bottom up to create a modified pyramid (or "warhead") shape. Place on a dry surface. Continue with remaining wontons.
• Heat oil in deep fryer to 350 degrees F. Fry wontons in batches until golden brown and crispy, gently moving them around in the oil with a strainer to brown each surface, about 3 minutes. Let cool about a minute before eating. Serve with the dipping sauce.
• Whisk ketchup, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and sriracha sauce together in a bowl for the dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Prehat the oven to 350°. Lightly spray the bottom of the cups of a muffin tin with a non-stick cooking spray.
• FILLING - Add the crab meat, cream cheese, chopped green onion, minced onion, teriyaki sauce and white pepper to a small mixing bowl and mix until well blended.
• Place the wonton wrappers on a flat surface. Add spoonfuls of the crab filling to the center of each wonton wrapper. Take two opposite tips of a wonton wrapper, and bring the tips to meet over the center of the filling. Take the other two opposite tips of the wonton wrapper and bring them to the center. Gently pinch the four tips together. Repeat with remaining wonton wrappers.
• Lift each Crab Rangoon appetizer gently and place one into each of the cups of the coated muffin tin. Bake in a 350° oven for 16-18 minutes or until the tips of the wonton wrappers are lightly browned.
• DIPPING SAUCE - In the meantime, add all the dipping sauce ingredients to a small bowl and mix until well blended. If you want a thinner sauce, you can place all the dipping sauce ingredients in a food processor and puree or blend for 10 to 20 seconds.
• When the appetizers are done, remove the pan from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 1 minute. Then carefully lift each baked rangoon and place on a platter.
• Serve (either warm or at room temperature) with the Thai Ginger-Lime Dipping Sauce.
