Heat enough oil to fill 2 to 3 inches in a medium sized cooking pot or wok.

Cream together cream cheese and scallions. If making crab rangoons, add the crab meat into the mix.

Spoon approximately 1 teaspoon of cream cheese mixture into wonton.

Fold the wonton. You can do the star shape that Panda Express uses or some of the more traditional shapes. We have a video below that shows how to fold the wontons. Just remember to brush a little water over the edges of the wonton skin you want to stick together.

Check that the oil is hot. Test with a small piece of wonton skin --if the wonton skin bubbles immediately when dropped into the hot oil, it is ready.

Drop in 2 to 3 wontons at a time.

Remove the wontons when they start to brown -- usually about 1 minute.

Remove and drop in the next batch.

Drain on a paper towel and serve.
