Crab Won-Tons

1 Package of cream cheese, softened
2 8 ounce packages of imitation crab or lobster, chopped (also mini shrimp are really good in this)
4 green onions, finely chopped
You may want to heat up the cream cheese so it mixes easier.  We always do!

We make our own won tons without a recipe.  Last night we had these fabulous lobster won tons.  I wanted to write down the recipe so we don't forget. It is really simple!  Another tip, don't bother with won ton wraps. Go big and use egg roll wraps.  Instead of 80 mini won tons, we enjoy 20 larger won tons. It takes less time to assemble them and you won't spend the whole evening standing at the frying pan!  Once you have put the filling in the middle of your wrap and folded it using whatever method you prefer, just heat some oil in the frying pan.  Brown each side and you are ready to eat!

We also make hamburger and cream cheese won tons.  Use about a pound of cooked ground beef and add half a package of cream cheese to it, so simple.  We like to dip ours in a sauce made of pineapple juice and ketchup.  Just heat and taste to make sure you get the proportions right.  A pretty simple but super yummy meal!

Last night I made coconut rice to go with our won tons.

1 c. coconut milk simmered with a few pinches of salt and 2 T. sugar poured over 1 cup cooked rice(I always use 2 or more cups of rice to each cup of coconut milk or it is too soupy)   Last night I served the rice with pineapple chuncks and we mixed them in. I think this would be a great side dish with pineapple and mango pieces. Might take it to the next ward pot luck!
