Ingredients

  • 24 green onion tops, cut into 3-inch julienne strips
  • 6 ounces Jonah crabmeat, shell pieces removed
  • 1 (4-ounce) block fat-free cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup minced green onions
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • 1 egg white, lightly beaten
  • Cooking spray
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Directions
Drop green onion strips in boiling water, and cook 10 seconds or until limp. Drain onion strips; set aside. Combine crabmeat and next 6 ingredients (crabmeat through pepper) in a medium bowl, and stir well. Working with 1 won ton wrapper at a time (cover remaining wrappers with a damp towel to keep them from drying out), spoon 2 teaspoons crabmeat mixture into center of wrapper. Moisten edges of wrapper with egg white; gather 4 corners of wrapper and crimp to seal, forming a purse. Tie 1 green onion strip around crimped top of purse. Repeat procedure with remaining won ton wrappers, crabmeat mixture, egg white, and green onion strips. Arrange half of won ton purses in a single layer in a vegetable steamer coated with cooking spray. Steam purses, covered, 8 minutes or until tender. Carefully remove purses from steamer; set aside, and keep warm. Repeat procedure with remaining half of purses. Combine soy sauce, water, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a small bowl; stir well. Serve with purses.
